Survey says
that 90% of the couriers in the Philippines prefer the ride-life over other
jobs
Get a glimpse of how thrilling modern rider
superheroes’ day-to-day is.
You rely on
them every day to deliver your go-to-food, call them when you need things
delivered, and trust them to get your items from point A to point B in a much
shorter amount of time—but have you ever wondered who your riders are when
they're not the superheroes you see on the road?
In a survey
conducted by Borzo, formerly Mr. Speedy,
2,000 drivers were asked in
the Philippines to share their personal stories with us, and the responses
ranged from amusing to heartfelt. "Why did you choose to be a rider?"
The question was posed to him, we were not shocked by the number of respondents
indicating a preference for work independence and having a second job as a
rider or courier. Here are some other
interesting facts about these hard working guys (and gals!) that we wished we
knew earlier:
They love tips, but kindness is king
Who doesn’t
love receiving some extra tip right? And it doesn’t even have to be in the form
of an emolument. 83% of the riders who answered our survey said that they
really appreciate customers who give them water, food, and sometimes a small
token to show their appreciation.
They’re the man (woman) of the house
From a survey
conducted by Borzo Philippines, 60% of the rider respondents are parents who
would always prioritize their family over anything else. For this reason, most
riders prefer working in the morning so that they can spend time with their
family at night.
They’re adventure seekers
According to the survey, 58% of riders love transporting
items to various destinations since it allows them to visit new places. These
riders experience a wide variety of landscapes, whether they're on a
metropolitan route or travelling through
suburban, residential, or rural areas.
New addresses are likely to appear on the packages they must
transport, adding to the variety of their day.
They’re their own boss
Riders just love
the fact that nobody tells them what to do, and 78% of our respondents agree
with that. They can eat lunch whenever they want, take a break, have a quick
nap, drive wherever, etc. Being a rider means you are not obligated to attend
long hours of meetings and can even set their own hours to some extent, as long
as they deliver on time.
The Philippines is an inherently rider-friendly country
Some countries
require couriers to work full-time, however this is not the case in the
Philippines, where working in the delivery profession can be a supplement to
one's full-time job. As a result, many of our couriers are students or even
retired employees.
