This is true
The bigger/heavier the truck, the higher the pay.
The license itself is also pretty hefty

but it is a pain in the ass facts that driving lorry can easily earn more than most of the professionals today.

its quiet refreshing to see a CEO like you speak very loudly against such low pay for fresh grad. And its disgusting to even read theres some idiots actually agree that a fresh grad deserve no more than 2.5k in KL

just wondering, how much is the company that you're working for willing to pay for a fresh grad? be it whichever department it is, as long as it requires a bachelor degree.

when i created account at 2014, i saw this thread and had a vision to just 14th floor

7 years later i came back with better achievement and see ppl significantly younger than me earning even higher

there is no winning this thread
