"This company had many significant issues: inaccurate mileage calculations, unprofessional dispatchers, long-haul routes, unpaid emergency dispatches, frequent roof-raised loading, unpredictable pay, and short distances. It's difficult to imagine a worse trucking company."
"The company has significant issues with its office staff. They are unresponsive to driver concerns, withhold payments, and disregard legal regulations. A specific employee, Elina L***a, exhibits unprofessional and abusive behavior, and management fails to address the problem. Drivers face arbitrary fines and lack of support, leading to wasted time, frustration, and financial loss. It's recommended to avoid this company and seek employment elsewhere."
"This company consistently honors its agreements with drivers. Pay is always on time and matches the contract, with full documentation and timely maintenance for well-maintained trucks. Drivers can negotiate schedules and aren't pressured to exceed hours. Overall, the experience has been very positive."
"As a former CEE employee after four years, I experienced more positives than negatives. A problematic individual in the main office negatively impacted foreign drivers, but they have since been dismissed. The fleet is modern and well-maintained, and routes are consistent due to large contracts with car manufacturers, primarily transporting auto parts. Dispatchers were helpful and accommodating, and salary payments were reliable. It's a good training ground for drivers new to Europe."
"I worked here for over two years and had a very positive experience. The pay was consistently good, always on time, and met the contract terms. The trucks were well-maintained, and I received regular allowances for accommodation. Overall, the conditions were excellent."
"The company's behavior has declined, with management acting unfairly and pushing drivers to violate regulations, promising to cover fines. There are issues with unpaid vacation pay and potential financial discrepancies. Many drivers share similar negative experiences."
"I worked here for a year and a half and consistently received timely payments. Vacation time was handled without issues. The office environment has its quirks, but the trucks are generally well-maintained, and the dispatcher is acceptable."
"This company seeks out drivers willing to accept low pay and excessive workloads. Drivers report feeling exploited, with threats of salary deductions and a demanding, oppressive work environment. It's described as a place where drivers are treated poorly."
"This company appears to be facing serious financial and ethical issues. The driver reports significant payment discrepancies and feels exploited, with deductions and questionable justifications. They advise against working for the company."
"A friend has worked here for a year and is satisfied with the pay, earning approximately $1500. The work involves short distances. The reviewer was initially turned down and is now working elsewhere, which is also satisfactory. They believe negative comments are likely exaggerated."
"After working here for a year and comparing it to previous jobs in Poland and Lithuania, this company feels like a dream. The dispatchers communicate in Russian, we use toll roads with a tractor-trailer, and the stable salary of 1700-1750 euros is quite satisfactory."
"I worked at this company for three months and found the dispatchers to be reasonably good. The trucks were in decent condition, not old or unreliable. I drove routes through Germany, France, and Austria, earning 1,700 euros per month. I'm considering returning for another stint."
"The company's practices have changed. They previously provided more details, but now they're less transparent, particularly regarding weekend pay."
"Dispatchers are disrespectful and unhelpful, ignoring driver concerns. The company's treatment of drivers is poor, offering minimal compensation upon termination. It's advisable to avoid this company and seek opportunities elsewhere."
"This company is highly discouraged. Drivers consistently leave after a few months, indicating a problematic work environment. It's suggested to seek experience elsewhere to avoid wasting time, regardless of experience level."
"Do not consider working for this company. Promises made are not kept."
"This company has extremely poor management and dispatcher attitudes, consistently failing to honor salary agreements and pressuring drivers to violate work and rest regulations. Document handling is problematic, with an employee who appears to manipulate drivers. High staff turnover and reliance on drivers accepting low wages are significant issues. Overall, this is a highly negative work environment to be avoided."
"Things were initially normal, but the company has significantly declined. They've started hiring inexperienced drivers, leading to a chaotic training environment. Many drivers are leaving due to the deteriorating conditions. Management should address the concerns raised in reviews. Avoid for gaining experience."
"This company is riddled with deception and mismanagement. New recruits are directed to fraudulent job agencies that exploit them financially. A specific employee, Leonid, is described as incompetent and uncaring, failing to support drivers and leaving them stranded in foreign countries. The company's practices are exploitative, with drivers feeling taken advantage of and discarded. The training process is substandard and unpaid, with inconsistent conditions."
"The dispatcher was unprofessional and insulting to drivers, showing a lack of respect and damaging their reputation. The company failed to properly support inexperienced drivers seeking opportunities in Europe."
"The driver feels unfairly terminated after three months, citing a lack of flexibility and conflicting explanations from the dispatcher. They allege disciplinary issues were raised retroactively and question the company's actions, claiming the company's actions were retaliatory."
