"This company is essentially a rebranded version of Transmaya, with the same rules and work ethic. Many drivers are former Transmaya employees. The positive reviews are likely from employees close to management who report back. Don't waste your time here. Initially, they promised good work and routes, but in reality, drivers are pushed to their limits, driving long distances, and the bonus system is unattainable due to constant heavy loads on national routes. Managers are unresponsive and difficult to reach."
"Overall very satisfied with the company. Routes are long, typically Spain to Holland. Fuel is not reimbursed, but good parking areas with amenities are provided. Rest stops are consistently available, allowing for 24-45 hours of downtime. The staff is helpful with paperwork."
"The company's performance declined after a new director from Baltic Transport arrived. There's increased pressure to work long hours, and the company pays fines while failing to fulfill payment promises. The initial agreements weren't honored."
"The company has numerous violations, promised bonuses are not paid, there are violations of rest and work hours, holidays are restricted, and driving bans are enforced. Bonuses are promised for these violations but never paid. Trucks are in terrible condition with extremely high mileage (800,000). Approximately 80% of driving is on highways, with eco-driving and deductions for early arrivals."
"After working for GINiDE for over four years, the first three were acceptable. However, after a new director, Mindaugas, things changed. There's now a rush to deceive drivers regarding pay, so be cautious."
"I've been with Gineda for three terms and can say that transportation companies in Lithuania are generally similar. Gineda ES stands out positively. I've never had any issues with timely salary payments. The company is accommodating, offering advances when needed. The trucks I've driven have low mileage (under 30,000 km), and the trailers are new. I know the company staff personally, from managers to the director, allowing for direct problem resolution. The director was even very helpful, assisting with my relocation. I believe negative reviews are likely from competitors. Gineda ES is excellent."
"I've worked as a driver for various companies, and this one is among the best in Lithuania. There's minimal use of national roads, the managers are reasonable, the office staff are approachable and willing to compromise, and payments are made promptly upon arrival without any deception. Trucking is a challenging job, and sometimes companies make it more difficult, but here, everyone focuses on results and doesn't readily dismiss drivers. Because the company is small, you know all the office employees, from the manager to the director, and you can resolve any issue directly. I'm glad to work here!"
