"Drivers report financial issues and underpayment by management, leading to high turnover. Promises of increased pay have been made to entice drivers to return. There's a sense of exploitation and a culture of silence regarding problems. The company appears to be focused on routes to Asia."
"Having worked here for four years, I've consistently found the company to meet its obligations. Most drivers, including myself, are very satisfied with the work and have been with the company for several years."
"I've been with this company for nearly a year, about 11 months."
"I've been with this company for a while and am generally satisfied. While some people always find something to complain about, the logistics team is acceptable, the trucks are well-maintained, and they provided helpful route maps. I'm typically out for extended periods of six to nine months."
"Upon arrival, I experienced extensive delays in receiving documents, essentially working without pay while performing various labor-intensive tasks. Management is unprofessional and restrictive, enforcing excessively long shifts and penalizing even minor tool use. Pay is manipulated, often resulting in significant deductions. Dispatchers are unhelpful and inflexible, pushing drivers to work beyond legal limits. The company has high turnover due to poor working conditions and delayed payments. Consider carefully before joining."
"After my first run with Hegelmann, I'm switching companies. I submitted documents to Vlantana and EuroJumbo. EuroJumbo was the first to process my paperwork. I went to sign documents and return home, expecting confirmation. However, nothing was prepared, there was nothing to sign, and I had to stay in a place where drivers wait without leaving, feeling trapped. It seems like a place where drivers are treated poorly."
"Drivers report significant issues with EuroJumbo. Salary discrepancies are common, with unexplained deductions and shortfalls. Pay stubs are unavailable. Home time is unreliable, and drivers are sometimes forced to work excessive hours or violate regulations. Vehicle maintenance and replacement are often the driver's responsibility. The company took money from drivers' pay during the pandemic and conditions in the company hostel are poor."
"This company is a scam. Drivers are consistently fined 350-450 euros due to inaccurate time calculations and pressure to violate driving regulations. Forwarders lack experience and drivers are penalized regardless of their arguments. The company has become extremely difficult to work with, and previous reviews are accurate. A former employee left after three years due to the stressful environment."
"Starting with this company isn't bad, but they don't safeguard drivers regarding extra mileage or fuel usage. Pay ranges from €1800 to €1850. A significant issue arises while awaiting official paperwork from Warsaw; a new mechanic assigns tasks, making it advisable to return home and wait for the paperwork. The office will contact you, or you risk a 2-3 week wait at the base for a job assignment."
"The work is chaotic and demanding, with frequent, difficult deliveries and constant issues with truck maintenance. Communication is poor, repairs take too long, and getting off schedule is a problem. The company's practices are exploitative, with fines for refusing to violate work regulations and significant pay delays. The mechanic is ineffective. The overall experience is negative and unreliable."
"This company is highly problematic. Expect significant challenges and a lack of support. Home time is extremely unpredictable, often involving months away from home. Rest breaks are minimal, and the facilities are extremely basic and unsanitary. Truck quality varies greatly, with a mix of newer and very old vehicles. Expect to handle much of the loading/unloading and vehicle maintenance yourself. Dispatcher support is virtually nonexistent, and promises made during hiring are often untrue. Salary has decreased and continues to decline. The company seems heavily influenced by personal connections."
"The company is causing significant problems with fines being applied retroactively and unpredictable salary shortfalls. Wages were unexpectedly reduced, and drivers are being penalized for tachograph usage, even after being told specific time guidelines. There's a lack of understanding for driver fatigue and errors in paperwork, leading to fines. Transfers and terminations occur without warning, and bonuses are unfulfilled. The salary is low, and the work environment is stressful."
