Depends, some company still give as little as 30 sen per parcel regardless of amount or distance..

I am also in this industry, so far for Driver(the one that drive company lorry to deliver) is paid as low as RM1.5k basic, and parcel commission is as low as 30 sen per parcel..

Yup, it applies to both lorry and rider, at least in my company.. Any parcel that weight less than 35kg is 30 sen per piece, and documents is 10 cent per piece.. For rider got fuel allowance(this depend on distance but I believe max is RM18 per day), but that also include ur own bike maintenance.. Lorry driver, they are issued with company fuel card so no mileage claims.. Maintenances cost for lorry is paid by the company, but this need to request from HQ, and they tend to reject things that seems unnecessary for them(Air conditioning repair for example)

Lorry driver, if they deliver parcel that is over 35kg, that parcel will earn them RM3.. Do note that there is no upper limit on this, means even if u carry half a ton parcel(Industrial stuff), means that parcel will only give u RM3..

Not to mention, delivery drivers/riders are a dead end job.. There is almost no career progression from there.. At best they will become group leader, and still have to go out daily for deliveries.. Thinking about managerial post??forget about it as company tend to take outsiders with required diploma/degree instead of training existing people who have been in company long enough, and probably know more about operation than those new people..


Younger driver tend to use this job, save up money to get vocational license(Full E license), and then goes to another company.. Middle aged one, either stay there due to no other suitable/better job, or have family duties that won't allow them to get E license and be days if not week away from home..

Nah, they don't.. In my company, we have few employees who have been here over 20 years, and yet still a driver.. Their basic pay is also not that high, if I remember correctly that guy basic pay is like RM1.8k, and ofc same 30 cent per parcel.. Imagine getting paid RM1.8k basic on your 50's..
