"The training program was poorly structured and disorganized, with a constantly unavailable trainer. The location of the hostel and office was inconvenient, requiring transportation requests. The job itself involves recruiting foreign drivers, neglecting driver rest, and requiring further certifications and unpaid internships before potentially accessing European routes after a long wait and limited initial opportunities."

"This company is generally fine. Experienced drivers who follow company policies and avoid issues like fuel theft and late unloading tend to have a good experience. Many drivers have been with the company for a long time, though some leave quickly. New drivers often face initial challenges, but rarely discuss them publicly, instead focusing on salary concerns."

"The driver consistently experienced issues with pay, never receiving base pay on days off. They were pressured to sign vacation documents even after completing vehicle handover and payment procedures, regardless of the length of their assignment."

"The driver reports significant pay issues, including unpaid wages totaling 500 euros, unexplained deductions for return routes, fines, and mileage discrepancies. They allege the company withheld documentation and failed to accurately calculate payments, leading to a feeling of being exploited. They also mention a previous unpaid amount in Poland and strongly advise against working for this company."

"The office is poorly maintained. Pay is very low at 55 pennies per kilometer, routes are short and on terrible roads, leading to burnout and increased fuel expenses. Drivers are charged for fuel even with low consumption. Routes in Europe, particularly in France, are chaotic, with narrow roads, limited parking, and frequent stops in rural areas. Purchasing supplies before entering France is recommended due to inflated prices."

"This company in Poland is unreliable. They offer low wages, with only a small advance paid monthly. Rest time is inadequate, and payment is difficult to obtain, requiring constant negotiation. The company relies on positive advertising and prioritizes advance payments over fair compensation. Drivers on longer routes should expect cash payments and be prepared for payment disputes. It's best to consider other companies like Girteka or Hegelman."

"This company is unreliable and dishonest regarding payments. Drivers have reported receiving significantly less than the promised pay, and the company refuses to reimburse the difference. Many have been deceived and shorted on earnings. Avoid wasting your time and risking financial loss with this unscrupulous company."

"This company is poorly managed and exploitative. Drivers consistently experience unreliable pay, with frequent unexplained deductions from their salaries. Management appears to create reasons to withhold funds, leading to significant financial losses for drivers. There were also issues with fuel theft, and the company refused to reimburse the driver, citing financial hardship. Overall, a deeply negative experience."

"I do not recommend this company. They retain original employment documents like psychological test results and medical records. Drivers are pressured to work beyond legal limits, facing threats if they refuse, and are forced to continue driving in an automated mode."

"The company prioritizes profit over driver well-being. A lack of experience was exploited, leading to significant financial losses. Issues arose immediately, including unfulfilled promises of payment for repairs and bonuses. Expenses weren't reimbursed, and insurance claims were denied despite documentation. The driver incurred significant damage costs and was not compensated, ultimately working without travel allowances."

"This company is dishonest and unreliable. Pay is significantly delayed, with deductions for wear and tear, even pre-existing scratches. Promised pay rates are often much lower than advertised. Maintenance costs are exorbitant, and insurance coverage is limited, potentially leading to financial penalties in accidents. Employee retention is poor, and the company dismisses concerns. I strongly advise against working here."

"The company's housing is very basic, resembling a military barracks with no internet access. The training program is expensive, costing between 1250 and 4000 zlotys, and the duration of the training period is quite short, lasting only a month or slightly longer before the internship begins."

"The pay was consistently late, and the dispatcher was difficult to communicate with. Rest breaks were often rushed, and the trucks were frequently in need of maintenance. Home time was unpredictable, making it hard to plan personal life. Overall, the experience was negative and didn't match the promises made in the contract. The work involved a mix of regional and local routes."

"This company is extremely disappointing and not recommended. Pay was nonexistent, and drivers are required to stay at the base. Night driving was frequent. The experience included three months in Poland with only two days of daytime driving. Trucks frequently break down, requiring drivers to supervise repairs, which are often inadequate. Brake and chassis issues were unresolved despite significant effort. The truck failed inspection after returning home. Base conditions are poor, lacking hot water and laundry facilities. Overall, a very negative experience."

"This company is poorly managed and I strongly advise against working here, even for short-term opportunities. The pay is deceptive, work is primarily done at night, and fuel consumption is excessive. Drivers frequently leave, and there's a high turnover of new employees. Fuel costs are a significant burden, and routes involve heavy loads and long distances."
