"Salaries are consistently late, even after being paid a month later than scheduled. The company cuts corners on vehicle maintenance, including tires, supplies, and cleaning. Drivers are responsible for upfront costs like tolls and parking, with reimbursement coming later. Management is unresponsive and difficult to reach. There's pressure to work excessive hours due to driver shortages."

"I had a positive experience working for this company for four months. Payments were consistently on time and in full, and drivers weren't pressured to rush routes. While communication could be warmer, the company handles vehicle maintenance well. I encountered one incident at the French-Spanish border involving vandalism, but the company handled my final pay without issue. Overall, a reliable and decent place to work."

"This trucking company had serious issues. Pay was frequently delayed, and the dispatcher, seemingly lacking knowledge of driver regulations, pressured the driver with unrealistic deadlines and accusatory language. There were major concerns about truck maintenance, including unsafe tires that led to a blowout in Belgium. The company's response to the incident was chaotic, involving police intervention and a forced, unauthorized repair that compromised safety. The driver felt manipulated and risked their job by following company instructions. Ultimately, the driver was unfairly blamed for the situation and terminated, with unresolved pay issues and blocked communication. This experience highlights a lack of accountability and disregard for driver well-being."

"Approximately 95% of drivers are highly skilled professionals who have worked with the company for 5 years or more. However, a small percentage (around 5%) lack driving skills and negatively impact the reputation of other drivers."

"I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, regardless of experience. Their logistics are poorly managed, with strict adherence to schedules that disregard legal requirements. Pay is received in installments, and they often change schedules without notice, disregarding prior commitments. Expect discrepancies in calculations."

"This company's reviews are misleading; many writers were likely terminated due to poor driving skills and vehicle damage. Ukrainian drivers received new trucks that quickly required extensive repairs, and they've reportedly caused damage to gates, fences, and buildings. The author suggests drivers should improve their skills or find a different profession."

"I've worked at ATM for almost 5 years. When I started, there were 18 new trucks. The owner, understanding the challenges drivers face, provided each truck with a 2000-watt inverter, an electric kettle, and a microwave. He would call once or twice a week to check on personal and work-related matters. The schedules were clear, with Polish colleagues working 3 weeks on, 1 week off, and Ukrainian colleagues working 3 months on, 1 month off. Trucks were clean and well-maintained. Pay was always on time, including base salary, daily rates, and bonuses. Drivers were paid their salary even during time off. The company had a rest area with showers and toilets. Trucks were serviced and washed at HEUEL. The company consistently monitored and replaced wear items. The owner, Tomasz Murawski, always listened to employees and tried to accommodate their requests. He would often help with personal issues. While there were occasional work-related issues, he always tried to resolve them fairly. Several c"

"Equipment was initially new and well-maintained, with clear work schedules (4x1). However, conditions deteriorated significantly over time. Vehicles became dirty and damaged, with broken equipment. Mileage often exceeded agreed-upon limits, and fuel consumption was excessive. Rest breaks were frequently skipped. Dispatchers pressured drivers to violate regulations, including speeding and ignoring traffic signs. Home time was unpredictable. Salaries were sometimes delayed or split, and drivers were often required to obtain additional certifications without compensation. Tire pressure monitoring was neglected, and damage was concealed by blaming drivers. Many drivers experienced excessive working hours and inadequate rest periods. Despite these issues, some drivers remain with the company."

"ATM Logistics in Poland is a deceptive company. The owner avoids paying drivers, and the trucks (DAF cars and trailers) are in terrible condition – worn out, with failing tires and steering. Maintenance is minimal, and drivers are blamed for issues like tire punctures. The base is far from the dispatch location, requiring a long minibus ride. Driver turnover is high, and the company's advertisements are misleading. Forwarders, particularly the King department, are reportedly unprofessional and discriminatory. Overall, this is a company to avoid."

"I agree with previous reviews. The company has a history of not paying final salaries and the contract is structured to allow them to withhold travel allowances, classifying them as bonuses. High turnover rates among drivers and logistics staff suggest significant management issues."

"This company is exploitative and prioritizes profit over driver well-being. Management is dishonest, office staff are inexperienced, and the dispatchers are manipulative. The equipment is poorly maintained, with repairs only occurring when vehicles are immobilized. Overall, it's a highly undesirable workplace."
