Lalamove launches ‘Tuloy Biyahe’ Roadshow, supports PUV and PUJ drivers

Lalamove, a leading delivery service in Southeast Asia, is set to launch a new initiative aimed at onboarding thousands of public utility vehicle (PUV) and public utility jeepney (PUJ) drivers in the Philippines. This program, called the “Tuloy Biyahe Program: Tsuper Onboarding Roadshow,” will tour key cities across Luzon and Visayas from September to October 2024, offering opportunities for drivers to partner with Lalamove and enhance their financial stability.

Tuloy Biyahe Roadshow: Lalamove empowers drivers across Luzon and Visayas

With its reach extending to cities like Pampanga, Baguio, Quezon City, and Cebu, the roadshow aims to help these essential workers find a sustainable income stream in the ever-expanding logistics industry.

Empowering PUV and PUJ Drivers

The Tuloy Biyahe Program is more than just a recruitment drive. It’s a comprehensive effort by Lalamove to help drivers gain financial independence and succeed as entrepreneurs. By partnering with local government units (LGUs) across the country, Lalamove ensures that each roadshow is well-coordinated and accessible to drivers in these regions.

Djon Nacario, the Managing Director of Lalamove Philippines, emphasized the company’s commitment: “Our Tuloy Biyahe program goes beyond just helping drivers find work. It’s about helping them become more financially independent. We want to see them succeed as entrepreneurs and build a brighter future for their families.”

The program addresses a critical issue in the country—job scarcity in the transport sector, particularly among jeepney drivers whose livelihoods were severely affected by the pandemic and rising fuel costs. Through this initiative, Lalamove hopes to provide a stable and long-term solution for these drivers.

A Nationwide Rollout

The Tsuper Onboarding Roadshow will visit multiple locations, each selected for its strategic importance in the country’s transportation network. The three major routes are:

• Route 1: North and Central Luzon
  • September 18: Pampanga
  • September 19: Tarlac City
  • September 20: Baguio City

• Route 2: National Capital Region and South Luzon
  • September 26: Quezon City
  • September 27: Valenzuela City
  • September 30: San Juan City
  • October 1: Lipa City

• Route 3: Cebu
• October 3: Mandaue City
• October 4: Cebu City

This roadshow will create opportunities for drivers in both metropolitan and regional areas, ensuring that more Filipinos can take advantage of Lalamove’s growing platform. By bringing the onboarding process closer to drivers, the program eliminates the need for travel to larger cities, which could otherwise pose a barrier for some.

Incentives and Support

The Tuloy Biyahe Program offers a range of incentives to encourage drivers to join the Lalamove network. For instance, those who attend the roadshow will receive a 50% discount on the required cash deposit fee, making it easier for them to get started. Moreover, the first 50 drivers who successfully onboard at each event will receive a range of exclusive freebies, including Lalamove-branded vests, lanyards, and raincoats.

For drivers without vehicles, Lalamove has partnered with select car loan providers to offer financing options, making vehicle ownership more accessible. Additionally, drivers who don’t have their own vehicles can be matched with Lalamove-verified fleet operators who are looking for qualified drivers.

These incentives, combined with the growing demand for delivery services across the country, make this an excellent time for PUV and PUJ drivers to consider joining the platform. The program opens up new streams of income, providing long-term benefits for drivers and their families.

Supporting Local Communities

Beyond the direct benefits to drivers, the Tuloy Biyahe Program also supports the broader local economies. With Lalamove’s increasing footprint in the Philippines, there is a growing demand for logistics services, particularly in provinces outside Metro Manila. By recruiting drivers from these areas, the company ensures that it can meet the rising demand for delivery services in regional centers while also creating jobs.

The program also aligns with Lalamove’s larger mission of using technology to connect communities. By facilitating efficient, same-day delivery services, Lalamove plays a critical role in helping small businesses reach more customers, especially in locations where access to traditional delivery services is limited.

A Bright Future for Filipino Drivers

The Tuloy Biyahe Program represents a significant opportunity for PUV and PUJ drivers across the Philippines. With its combination of practical incentives, local partnerships, and a nationwide rollout, the program is designed to provide lasting benefits to both drivers and the communities they serve.

The roadshow is just the beginning. Lalamove’s commitment to empowering drivers and providing them with tools to succeed as entrepreneurs will undoubtedly have a long-lasting impact on the country’s transport sector. As more drivers join the platform, the ripple effect will be felt in families, communities, and local businesses across the Philippines.

For drivers looking for a fresh start or additional income, Lalamove’s Tuloy Biyahe Program offers an unparalleled opportunity to embark on a new career journey—one that promises growth, stability, and financial freedom.
