"After 1.5 years, the pay was significantly lower than promised, with a reported salary of €1850. Drivers are pressured to drive 12,000 km for acceptable results and face numerous deductions. Leadership was ineffective, and the dispatcher's communication style led to driver departures. Vehicles were old, poorly maintained, often overloaded, and resulted in fines for the driver. Overall, not recommended."

"This company is only suitable for training, with very low pay (1900 euros/month). Drivers are often assigned unfair tasks and receive minimal compensation. There are reports of abrupt firings without notice or proper contract adherence, abandonment of drivers in foreign countries, and unexpected car repair charges. Communication is poor, and drivers are left stranded and unpaid. Overall, the experience is highly negative and not recommended."

"The company prioritizes volume over quality, with many drivers earning below average salaries. Frequent verification of pay is required, and earned wages are often withheld until after vacation. Hiring practices are lenient, accepting drivers with limited experience."

"This company pressures drivers to violate work and rest schedules and load restrictions. There's a significant issue with cabotage transportation and limited hotel accommodations. The company claims to be 'white' but the Polish branch seems dysfunctional and reliant on a few office staff to manage internal conflicts."

"Working at this company involves challenging car transport assignments with older vehicles, particularly in the Polish branch. Dispatcher Konrad strictly enforces downtime rules, and rest periods are minimal, often requiring drivers to log unrealistic hours. The company imposes high standards for both mileage and working time, making compliance difficult. Initial pay is acceptable but decreases over time, accompanied by accusations of excessive fuel consumption. The director is perceived as dishonest. However, the training center is beneficial for new drivers."

"I agree with previous reviews. Expect intense pressure, a difficult dispatcher, poor equipment, bad living conditions, and potential salary issues."

"Working for Bertani Italy is generally positive. Pay is very good, with bonuses based on performance, but always reliable and paid on time. Home time is excellent, allowing for weekends at home and even overnight parking near the driver's residence. The work isn't always easy, but the compensation and home time make it worthwhile."
