"This company is highly problematic. Drivers report significant payment issues, with earnings disappearing for months. Management's attitude towards drivers is poor, and resources are mismanaged, with more focus on office expansion than driver support."
"I worked for Balkan Euro Tire for three months and was never paid. When I asked how to get home without money, I was told to contact authorities and pursue legal action, implying I wouldn't seek help elsewhere. Unable to get paid or leave, I filed a lawsuit. Those who've had similar experiences are encouraged to connect on Facebook to support the ongoing legal case. Polish speakers should contact lawyers in Czestochowo for assistance."
"The company's pay practices are dishonest. They mislead drivers about their salary, make excuses, and fail to pay overtime as promised."
"This company is accused of fraudulent practices, including salary theft and falsifying financial records. Drivers report needing legal action to receive payment and strongly advise against working for them."
"The office staff and management are very poor. Payment is unreliable, with frequent fines and fabricated shortages. Drivers consistently report not being paid properly and having to cover their own expenses. Experienced drivers leave due to these issues, leading to a shortage of personnel. The company's problems are self-inflicted."
"This company has a reputation for failing to pay drivers what they're owed, with reports of significant debts outstanding, including personal experience. Legal action has been taken against them in Moldova, and positive reviews are likely fabricated."
"I worked at Balkan Eurotir for about four months and found it to be a solid company, earning a 4 out of 5. While there are both positives and negatives, the pay has been as promised, and I'm looking forward to a second shift. I would recommend it to those considering work in Europe."
"The company is facing a severe crisis, with many trucks parked and drivers leaving due to financial issues and questionable practices. Dispatchers are overwhelmed, management has relocated, and employee salaries have been cut. Drivers report returning home with significant debts and concerns about operating without proper equipment. Lawsuits are being filed, suggesting widespread dissatisfaction and potential legal action."
"Early employment was disappointing; the company's pay structure didn't reward experience as promised, and driver treatment was poor. I left without work and am now pursuing alternative opportunities in the Balkans."
"Overall, my experience has been positive. The company delivered on its promises, management is supportive, and I'm satisfied with the work. I don't foresee changing companies anytime soon, as I prioritize stable employment over constant negotiation for pay."
"The driver wishes for better communication channels to discuss contract details."
"I worked for three months without pay and received nothing despite performing my duties without issue. Attempts to contact the company were unsuccessful. Multiple employees were defrauded and left without compensation. The company's reputation is misleading, and I strongly advise against seeking employment there."
"This company appears to be associated with Hegelman, suggesting a similar operational style and potential collaboration between the two."
"I've been with the company for a year and my experience has been positive. Pay is reliable and the attitude is acceptable. I'm surprised by the negativity I've seen from others; a professional approach and taking your work seriously will prevent issues. Fuel consumption is reasonable."
"This company is a scam. Vehicles are poorly maintained and frequently break down, requiring roadside repairs. Drivers are unfairly fined for fabricated issues like fuel consumption and minor scratches. They withhold salaries to pressure drivers into continuing work, leading to high turnover. The owner and staff are described as exploitative. Previous positive reviews are suspected to be fake."
"The company is located in Czestochowa, Poland. There are issues with the accountant, mechanic, HR (who is apparently the sister of someone), and the logistics manager who is from Moldova. Pay is terrible and there's a risk of not being paid for recent months. The trucks have Hegelmann clutches on lease, which affects pay. Drivers often wait for assignments in random locations for extended periods."
"This company is highly problematic. The owner and director are questionable, and they consistently fail to pay wages on time, with November and December payments still outstanding. The company's practices led to the reviewer's illegal employment and subsequent deportation, resulting in financial hardship. Communication is difficult as they rarely answer calls. Only the mechanic and HR representative are viewed positively."
"Work can be profitable if you're diligent. While payments occasionally experience delays, they are ultimately fulfilled. Some previous employees left under less than ideal circumstances, causing disruption. Overall, the work is considered good and well-compensated by those who have been with the company long-term."
"The company initially seems promising with good management and reliable pay, but the experience deteriorates significantly at the base. Drivers face unexpected charges for tachographs and fuel, vehicle maintenance is the driver's responsibility, and communication is poor. The company appears to prioritize extracting money from drivers, with consistent deductions ranging from €1000 to €4000. The trucks are poorly maintained."
"The initial salary seemed attractive, comparable to rates in Germany, but the reality didn't match expectations and was disappointing."
