$3,600/Month in Just 5 Hours a Day? How This 59-Year-Old Does It with Lalamove

Looking for a side hustle with actual freedom, or thinking of taking control of your daily schedule full-time?
Meet Teck Hock, a 59-year-old Singaporean who has been driving full-time as a Lalamove Driver-Partner for over 4 years.

From Technician to Full-Time Driver-Partner

Before making the switch, Teck Hock worked as an engineer/technician. Like many looking for a change in routine and better work-life balance, he discovered Lalamove through an ad he stumbled upon.

When comparing gig platforms across Singapore, the choice was clear: he picked Lalamove over the competition primarily because of its lower commission rates, allowing him to keep significantly more of his hard-earned payout.

The Real Secret: Flexibility & Living Life on Your Own Terms

For Teck Hock, the biggest motivation to drive with Lalamove isn't just the extra income—it’s the absolute flexibility.

"I can plan my own time, then have more time with myself and my family. That’s the main part that I like!"

Instead of being tied to a strict 9-to-5 desk job, he splits his schedule however he wants. Whether it's taking orders in the morning, taking a long lunch break, or running a few trips in the afternoon, the choice is entirely up to him.

Let’s Talk Numbers: Earn Over $120 in Just 5 Hours (with a Car) 

Because Lalamove delivery rates vary depending on your vehicle size, having a car gives drivers access to higher base-fare jobs than smaller vehicle types like motorcycles.

Using his own car, Teck Hock shares his real-time earnings directly from the Lalamove app to show what’s possible:

• Vehicle Type: Car
• Daily Revenue: $120.51 (5 completed car orders)
• Time Worked: 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Just 5 hours!)
• Monthly Earnings Potential: Up to $3,600 per month by driving 5 to 8 hours daily

Because car deliveries command higher base rates per order, completing just 5 strategically selected trips in a 5-hour window lets Teck Hock hit over $120 daily—leaving plenty of free time for lunch, errands, and spending quality time at home with family.
