"This company was a frustrating experience. The onboarding process was prolonged, with delays in receiving a vehicle and ultimately, a lack of available work. This resulted in wasted time and visa complications, prompting a return to a previous employer."
"The office environment seems stable, with long-tenured employees and familiar routes involving deliveries to major factories like Skoda, Audi, and Ford, often on highways. Pay is reliable and delivered promptly. Fuel and vehicle damage aren't deducted. Earnings average around €1800. Dispatchers are generally respectful, and drivers can choose their cadence length (four weeks or longer). While there are occasional issues, the company compensates drivers during rest periods. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide if the company is a good fit."
"After nearly a year with Archeza, I found the company disappointing. They required me to unload cargo, a responsibility not mentioned in the contract."
"The company's promises don't match reality. After over four years, the driver experienced financial discrepancies and felt exploited by management. Truck maintenance is poor, with limited refrigeration units. Drivers face constant night driving and uncomfortable resting conditions due to lack of shade and air conditioning. Payment has consistently been below advertised rates, and fuel deductions are unwarranted."
"This is a generally positive company. Payments are reliable, although there's a specific issue regarding pay for Ukrainian drivers. Trucks are a mix of older (2014) and newer models, primarily Iveco and Scania, with some refrigerator issues in newer vehicles. Fuel calculations can be inconsistent. The company prioritizes previous driver's fuel consumption data but this is rare. There's no driver franchise program. Trailers vary in age. Routes primarily serve large automotive factories and Amazon. Driving hours are well-managed, with a maximum of 82 hours monthly. The work-pay balance is good, and drivers prefer it over Girtek and Hegelman."
"Employees with no experience are hired, but many quickly become disappointed and are terminated. Drivers are charged for diesel and questionable Italian speeding fines. There's suspicion that some fines are fabricated. Experienced drivers should avoid this company due to potential scams and dishonest management."
