"This company is terrible. The experience was extremely negative."
"New salary rules have been implemented, including an ECO points system for fuel efficiency, bonuses based on kilometers driven, and extra pay for Norway routes. There are also different pay rates for single and double crews, and a training program for new drivers."
"This trucking company offers tiered pay based on experience and mileage. Drivers earn between €72 and €80 per day, with additional bonuses for high mileage and work in Norway and Finland. There are also bonuses for re-trailers and a program for trainee drivers. The company emphasizes long-term stability and monitoring market wages."
"After six months, the pay started at €40 and increased to €62, with occasional payment delays of 1-2 days. Fuel costs are only deducted if driving scores are above 98. Hours of service are strictly adhered to, and paperwork assistance is provided (visa, work permit, and code 95), but with associated fees. The truck fleet includes both new and older vehicles. A major drawback is the unpredictable schedule; agreed-upon three-week routes were disregarded, leading to extended periods away from home. Drivers work in pairs, with a three-month training period. International routes, primarily within France, are common, with occasional assignments to Norway. There are frequent trailer transfers with unclear payment, and wage discrepancies require direct contact. Due to border restrictions, Belarusian drivers can only cross borders every six months, potentially leading to long periods without leave. The unpredictable routing ultimately led to the driver's resignation."
"My co-driver and I were penalized for exceeding fuel consumption, even though we both have good safety scores. I tried to get clarification, but after a week of calls, only half of the excess fuel was written off from both of us. The other half was split between us again. Overloads are frequent; if you don't weigh your own cargo to stay within limits, you'll be penalized for the excess."
"We drive national routes in France. After each period, 500 euros are withheld until the next period. Fuel costs aren't deducted if you score 98 points. The trucks are old Volvos and DAFs; some trailers are good, others are old Lamborghinis. Those who work for a year earn 3 euros less. The current salary is 65 euros for experienced drivers, while other companies pay 75 to 80 euros. Management tells one thing publicly and another privately. It's better to find a reputable company, preferably in Poland."
"How is the company? Is it bad or good?"
