"The internship program felt exploitative; trainees are essentially disposable. Training was inadequate and inconsistent, with conflicting expectations between instructors and management. The promised three-week internship was significantly shortened, and termination is swift for any mistakes."

"After three years at Hegelmanne LT, starting with minimal training and rotating through different cargo types (curtains, containers, barrels), the experience has been generally positive. While mistakes incur charges, these are usually manageable. Most importantly, salaries and advances are consistently paid on time."

"This company is exploitative. They withhold pay slips, fail to pay for vacation, make unwarranted salary deductions, and treat drivers poorly, viewing them as disposable and inexpensive."

"I strongly advise against this company, especially for those new to the industry. The management was extremely unprofessional and created a hostile work environment. I was unfairly penalized with an overtime fine that the company failed to resolve, leaving me in a difficult situation."

"This company is deeply problematic. Promises are broken, management is unfair and seems to favor certain individuals. Drivers are exploited, and there's a concerning culture of informants and punishment for those who need time off. The overall environment is highly negative and stressful."

"Dmitry wants to express his gratitude to Hegelmann company and Anton Hegelmann for their financial support and care after he experienced a medical emergency and subsequent heart surgery in France. He values the company's commitment to its employees and looks forward to returning to work with Anton."

"This division of the company is poorly managed, with dishonest leadership and questionable practices. Drivers report financial deception and a difficult work environment. The mechanic's behavior is also a concern, creating an overall negative experience."

"The internship process is challenging, with limited opportunities to become a first driver. Salary promises are often misleading, with initial offers reduced. Work schedules involve excessively long double crew shifts (21 hours daily), leaving little time for proper meals or breaks. Dispatchers pressure drivers to remain constantly moving, and the company appears to undervalue driver well-being, neglecting basic needs like showering and laundry."

"I worked at Hegelman for three years, repeatedly considering leaving, but was lured back with promises of bonuses that were later taken away. I now regret staying. The company treats drivers poorly, both in the office and at the distribution center, with excessive deductions for various issues, even those unnoticed during nighttime hookups. Drivers are held accountable for pre-existing trailer damage. The management disrespects drivers, referring to them as 'cheap spare parts.' I strongly advise against working here."

"The company pays a reduced "intern" salary for the first portion of your employment, even though you're immediately responsible for all driving duties. Full salary isn't received until after a full month of work. This feels deceptive."

"The driver experienced extremely poor rest conditions, describing a cramped and uncomfortable sleeping arrangement, having to rest on a tube rack for an extended period."

"The company has some unusual dynamics and potential issues with training and accountability. There's a perceived focus on certain nationalities, and the trainee program appears problematic with financial penalties for errors. Overall, the experience seems average."

"Hegelman is a large company with significant issues, particularly within its Lithuanian operations. The process for new drivers involves document preparation, a city driving test, and a parking/hitch uncoupling test. There's a grading system for the driving test that appears to be manipulated to affect pay. Accommodation during training is cramped and not always clean. New drivers are initially classified as trainees, even those with extensive experience. Pay during the 3-month internship is low (350-450 euros/month), with the remainder paid upon return. Experienced drivers face a 1500 euro insurance deductible (750 in Poland) and are responsible for fuel theft. Pallet handling is strictly monitored, with fines for errors. There's a department dedicated to pallet management."
