"This company misrepresented its operations, leading to a deceptive onboarding process and unrealistic expectations. Management made false promises and pressured drivers to violate regulations, including required rest periods. Reporting was overly burdensome and the atmosphere was stressful due to constant communication and reprimands. Equipment was inadequate, and personal vehicles parked near the office were at risk of damage. The company also retained funds upon termination. It was the worst experience in six years."
"Payments are consistently unreliable. Despite promises of payment on the 20th and 10th, the amounts are arbitrarily decided by management. I received only 300 euros and was given conflicting explanations, ultimately receiving no further payment."
"I worked at this company twice. Initially, payment was split into installments on a card, with cash payments upon arrival, but 500 euros were always withheld to ensure return. Later, routes involved up to eight loads/unloads in a single country, demanding completion within a very short timeframe. I resigned due to this intense schedule. Upon departure, they refused to pay 2,690 euros, citing fabricated fines. An employee named Thomas prevented me from reviewing the documentation and attempting legal consultation. This practice of sending drivers away and withholding pay has been reported by others. Contacting the labor commission was unsuccessful, as the employment contract stated a minimum salary of 725 euros, not the promised daily rate. The tax office also revealed the company avoids paying taxes. Management dismisses complaints by suggesting employees return to Ukraine. The high driver turnover, evidenced by frequent online advertisements and substandard living conditions, is a sig"
"The work experience is generally positive when approached with a standard work ethic."
"This response is not a driver's review, but a company's reply to a review. It details an incident involving a driver, Alexey, including damage to a vehicle, training difficulties, and salary disagreements. The company clarifies its pay structure and defends its practices, emphasizing that travel expenses are not covered. They also assure potential applicants of the company's positive work environment."
"There were initial issues at the docks, but management resolved them efficiently and were supportive of personal circumstances. The team at the base seemed positive. Work involved routes around Estonia, and a new assignment is beginning."
"The driver received deposits of €500 per cadence, but the money wasn't fully paid out, creating a confusing situation. Despite this, they express overall satisfaction."
"This is a small, family-run trucking company. The bosses are friendly despite a language barrier. I've worked both local and international routes, and I prefer the runs to Portugal, which involve frequent loading and unloading in Belgium. The work can be tiring, but night driving isn't required. Payments have been consistent and as agreed, at a rate of $85 per day."
"I appreciate the company's support in helping my family relocate from Ukraine. This has allowed me to work with greater peace of mind."
"This company has extremely poor management and a hostile work environment. Payments are significantly delayed, often accompanied by unfair fines and guilt-tripping. They withhold final paychecks, and the overall treatment of drivers is unacceptable. I strongly advise against working here."
