"The company is struggling, forcing bus drivers to operate trucks temporarily, even those inexperienced with them. Office workers are next, seemingly to experience the job firsthand. Bus drivers receive a bonus plus a daily allowance of 330, while truck drivers only get 330, creating a sense of unfairness. This, along with fabricated loading/unloading times, partial payments, and unexpected fines, contributes to driver turnover."
"My experience of 2.5 years with the company has significantly worsened since summer 2023."
"I agree with my colleague's previous review. The company's standards have declined, and it's better to find another job. The logistics team is unprofessional; they disregard driver conditions and are quick to escalate issues to management. The company fabricates reasons to penalize drivers and prioritize their own metrics, leading to excessive hours and pressure. Dispatchers are region-specific and focused on achieving performance goals, sometimes assigning routes designed for two teams to a single driver, resulting in forced pauses and pressure to exceed hours of service."
"The company recently cut driver pay, blaming financial difficulties like falling freight rates and rising fuel costs. Drivers feel this is a way to exploit them and increase profits. They criticize hidden deductions and unfair practices, suggesting the company should eliminate fines if drivers are barely earning a living wage. There's suspicion of replacing drivers with cheaper foreign workers. Drivers are frustrated with invented deductions, insurance charges, and unexpected costs during claims. The company is also criticized for hiring office staff from other trucking firms. One employee is mocked for giving poor driving advice. The overall sentiment is extremely negative, with predictions of fuel theft and asset sales."
"Half the salary is paid off the books, leading to excessive deductions and suspected theft. The company's tax practices are questionable, resulting in visa renewal denials for drivers. The promised daily rate was misrepresented, and deductions are applied to everything. Avoid this company at all costs."
"This company is good and part of the Oskar group, with a fleet of 350 trucks including Mercedes, DAF, MAN, and Iveco. Pay is 330 Polish Zloty, higher than for Asian drivers. Bonuses are given for proper fueling, minimizing idling time, accurate status updates, and scanning documents. They implement eco-driving monitored by a specialist. Drivers receive tracking devices, and aren't charged for in-cab lodging, though charges can occur if rules are broken. Pay is sometimes delayed by about 30 days and split into diet, advance, and cash portions. Documentation is essential for full payment. Detailed vehicle reports with photos are required. A monthly insurance deduction of 200 Zloty applies, with fines for damages or cargo theft."
"Hello! I'm considering working for this company, but I'm having doubts. Initially, everything seemed good, but now I have questions about employment, and they read my messages but don't respond. I don't think it's worth pursuing."
"The company initially seemed good, but recently there's been a decline in driver morale. Concerns have arisen regarding discrimination favoring Belarusian drivers, with allegations of preferential treatment and financial arrangements involving an office employee. This has led to a loss of trust among Ukrainian drivers and a potential future shortage of drivers."
"I agree with my colleague completely. I've worked for this company for three terms, and they haven't fulfilled the promises made during hiring. They promised I could obtain a visa and drive to England starting with my second term, but now, after three terms, I haven't received either a visa or trips to England. I'm now considering whether to continue working for this company!"
"The reviewer appreciates Natasha's responsiveness and problem-solving skills. They suspect the review was written by someone from the office and made threats involving hackers and personal confrontation. This appears to be a personal dispute rather than a genuine review of the company's operations."
