"This company was difficult to deal with, with slow paperwork processing and a generally unpleasant atmosphere. I wouldn't recommend it, especially to those from European or Asian backgrounds. Seeking a more established company with a positive history is advised."

"The company initially made enticing promises but the reality was disappointing. After over a year, home time was limited and experiences varied greatly depending on the dispatcher. Concerns were raised about giving power of attorney to the company, and issues arose regarding a lost/stolen card reported by the company, leading to unpaid debts. Fuel fines and tax payment issues were also mentioned. The overall office environment was negative, and there were serious accusations against the accountant. The reviewer does not recommend the company."

"BT Transport's recruitment seems deceptive. Initial promises of 65 euros per day and no violations are misleading. After a month, drivers face issues like needing to request food assistance, delayed document processing, and salary calculations based on mileage. They also direct drivers onto incorrect routes and then penalize them for extra kilometers."

"The onboarding process was excellent. Mikhail and Antonio were very responsive and helpful with employment and paperwork. The company covered initial expenses, which will be deducted from my salary, a significant benefit for me."

"Avoid this company if possible. The pay is extremely low, with excessive fines for mileage and fuel usage. They frequently find ways to deduct from earnings, creating a very exploitative work environment. Many drivers are currently leaving."

"I've been with Bt transport s.r.o. for three years. Recent circumstances have presented challenges, but the company has never fined me; I consistently follow dispatcher instructions. The payment structure has changed from daily rates to a kilometer-based system with a base, which currently allows me to earn around 2000 euros per month, though earnings can fluctuate."

"This company initially seemed attractive with European routes and investment in medical exams and certifications. However, the pay was initially misrepresented, with promised rates fluctuating and deductions occurring frequently. After six months, the driver still owed money for initial expenses and received a salary of 1456 euros. The company abruptly fired 30 employees, and finding alternative employment proved difficult due to similar issues across multiple trucking companies. The driver felt exploited and likened employees to disposable parts."

"I'm pleased with this company. Payments are reliable and accurate. The dispatcher's attitude is professional. Work schedules are reasonable, with cycles of six weeks instead of the typical three months. The trucks are well-maintained and new."

"Drivers report being unfairly charged for fuel overspending and fines unrelated to their actions. Overcrowded sleeping quarters, with 10-15 people sleeping on the floor in a single room, are also a significant concern."

"During an 8-month period with BT, drivers frequently encountered difficult loading locations and excessive loading/unloading. Payment issues were a recurring problem, including discrepancies in promised wages and unpaid amounts for the final month."
