# M’sian E-hailing Driver Claims He Earns RM6K To RM9K Monthly By Driving 14 Hours A Day

##### A 25-year-old Malaysian man has stirred discussion on Facebook after claiming that driving for e-hailing services can bring in a net income of RM6,000 to RM9,000 per month.

Posting in the group **“[grab&Mycar司机乘客中文交流区](https://www.facebook.com/groups/777575402640963/posts/2487066195025200?_rdc=2&_rdr#)” **, the man shared that he primarily drives a Honda Civic that has clocked over 300,000km. Yet, aside from regular maintenance, his vehicle rarely needed major repairs.

## 14 hours a day behind the wheel

He also added that he didn't agree** **with some older drivers who say repair costs are high or the income is unstable.

While acknowledging the impressive figures, the OP admitted it comes at a cost — a daily grind of up to 14 hours on the road. Still, he prefers the flexibility over working for a boss.

> **I’m happy every day. I can chat with passengers and enjoy the freedom of choosing when to start and finish work."**

The driver stressed that while the job offers independence, it requires financial discipline and a focus on health.

"Life is short. Freedom is the most important thing. Driving lets me enjoy the scenery. To me, freedom is everything.”

***'Earning RM7K–RM8K a month is normal. Driving an Axia and paying for repairs isn’t any cheaper than driving a Nissan.'***
