"This company was a very negative experience. They frequently disregarded regulations, including driving without chip cards, and payment advances were only provided after significant issues arose. The owner is extremely tight with money, delaying payments until drivers return to the base. High staff turnover and frequent night driving were also problems. The vehicles are in poor condition, and the recruitment process was questionable. The pay structure, with a base rate and additional payment for high mileage, seems unrealistic."

"I concur with previous reviews regarding Fructus. The pay was lower than promised, and drivers were pressured to operate without proper tracking in a Tahoe. After resigning, I worked for three weeks according to company policy but received no payment."

"I worked at this company for six months and received all my wages on time. The employer was decent, and they didn't seem to pressure drivers to break regulations. While the logistics weren't exceptional, I was allowed to travel when a colleague left. I would consider working there again. The company is somewhat unprofessional, and their treatment of employees varies. The pay is better than what I earned in Ukraine, including daily wages and meals, though it used to be more generous. I recommend it for those seeking income."

"I advise against working for FRUKTUS. They operate illegally, forcing drivers to exceed work schedules and denying adequate rest periods. Dispatchers are manipulative and blame drivers for their own mistakes. Document handling is problematic, and rest breaks are consistently ignored. It's not worth any salary offered."

There were serious issues with withheld pay, missing documentation, and even reports of drivers being turned in to authorities and deported due to visa problems. I strongly advise against working for this company, even for beginners."

"The company failed to pay for a month of internship and nearly a month of work, citing various excuses. Work and rest schedules were disregarded, and drivers were pressured to falsify logs. The company operates illegally without proper documentation. They withhold funds for code 95 and don't return them upon termination. The driver found the company through an agency, GVARDIA, and warns others to be cautious of such organizations."

"This company is a scam. Promised pay of $6,000-$7,000 was never delivered, with pay varying significantly between drivers and often less than $5,500. The work involves illegal practices, and there's high turnover, primarily with Ukrainian drivers. Salary is unpredictable, and not recommended for inexperienced drivers due to lack of training. There have been reports of drivers being deported. Avoid Ruslan."
