"The company is decent, with both pros and cons, but it's better than many others currently."

"Drivers of various nationalities work for MARCOTRAN, with few Polish drivers. Assignments begin with vehicle repairs for which drivers are not compensated, and pay is based on mileage. Trucks and trailers are old and unreliable. Drivers experience constant underpayment for kilometers, and must cover expenses like parking and tolls. Frequent trailer swaps with long wait times are common, with a Polish branch dedicated to these transfers, limiting time in Spain. Routes primarily involve Poland-Germany-France, and drivers are pressured to violate regulations and work overtime to meet express delivery schedules. The company shows a lack of regard for its drivers."

"I do not recommend this company, even for entry-level positions. The pay is below $2,000, and mileage is consistently reduced regardless of the route. Claims about reimbursement for parking fees are unreliable; I did not receive reimbursement for two instances. The trucks and trailers are in poor condition. Seek companies offering daily rates, as this is not a place to earn a good living."

"The company has become a sweatshop, hiring anyone available. Pay is based on mileage and there are dishonest practices."

"Avoid this company. They attempted to deceive me before I even started working. It's similar to Gerta or Hegelmann, where at least you get a rate; here, they pay kilometers and pennies."

"Marcotran is better than Hegelmann, but there's no real training program. New drivers are paid the same as experienced ones, which is fair. Fuel costs aren't deducted, and routes are primarily on highways, with fueling stops in Poland and Spain. However, the organization of transportation is chaotic and inefficient. Communication is poor between departments, leading to confusion and unnecessary actions. Dispatch and logistics are problematic, but it's suitable for beginners."

"It's decent, especially for new drivers. They don't penalize for mileage or equipment issues. If you get lost or exceed mileage limits, there will be no repercussions."

"Drivers are asking about the company's routes, fuel stops, tax procedures, mileage potential, pay schedule, and driver accommodations (hostel or base). They also inquire about dispatch and whether to accept assigned loads."
