Freight drivers have long voiced concerns over platform commission rates, and now, one major logistics company has announced its sixth policy adjustment this year—this time focusing on reducing fees for drivers. The changes specifically target user-quoted orders, shared rides, carpooling orders, and long-distance hauls, with lowered commission rates across the board.
A new "capped commission" mechanism has been introduced: drivers without fee-reduction cards will see a maximum deduction of $14 per order, while those using such cards will face a cap of $7. These adjustments have brought the overall commission rate down from 12.2% last year to 10.9%.
In a further boost for drivers, the platform will automatically activate subsidies or peak service fees during high-demand periods—such as rush hours, severe weather, or holidays—potentially increasing drivers' earnings by up to 60% of the order value. This could significantly raise income during peak operational times.
However, the actual impact of these changes will depend on real-world application and how quickly drivers adapt to the new rules.
