"This company is awful. Do not work here. Document processing can take 2-3 months, and you may have to pay for them yourself. They also withhold pay upon termination and fabricate reasons to deduct from your earnings. The company has significantly deteriorated."

"This company treats drivers like slaves and is reminiscent of a Soviet-era collective farm. It's a terrible place to work, and the company should be shut down to prevent further mistreatment."

"I worked for about six months. It took two months to get the paperwork, and there was a two-month internship paid at 20 euros. After two months of work, I finally received a salary, but they only paid 30% of what was owed, and I had to wait for the rest at home."

"As a trainee, you're unable to return to the loading ramp. You're unsure of your location, not knowing if you're in Spain or France. You lack essential knowledge and are observed driving recklessly, potentially damaging vehicles, with photographic evidence being taken."

"Stepping into the company reveals a disheartening reality. The yard is a muddy mess in wet weather, and generally unpleasant. The kitchen and restrooms are dirty and smelly. Drivers struggle to maintain the facilities. Rooms are infested with bedbugs, mattresses are filthy and old. Few drivers stay longer than 2-3 years, suggesting a high turnover rate. The dispatcher is unresponsive, and the owner is reportedly involved in legal troubles, failing to pay wages or provide release papers. The company faces financial difficulties and is under legal scrutiny. Driver shortages are filled with inexperienced Belarusian drivers. This company is strongly advised against."

"This is my first company in Europe, and I can only compare it to Belarusian-Russian companies. If you know your job and treat it accordingly, you'll receive the same respect. There were no payment delays, the treatment was decent, as long as you do your job well, there are no issues. They even helped with the code, overall a 9/10."

"I worked at this company for over a year and might have stayed if a better opportunity arose. They always paid on time, which is surprising given some of the comments I've read. It seems the company has improved its treatment of drivers; if you're a capable driver, you shouldn't have problems. It's a great place to start for those new to driving in Europe."

"Worked at this company for almost a year. The positives are that they pay the salary on time in one lump sum, which is surprising compared to other companies where you often have to chase payment and it's split into multiple parts. The schedule is well-structured, and they are willing to adjust it if needed. The trucks are in decent condition, and repairs are covered by the company. The negatives include being responsible for paying fines yourself. Overall, it's a good company for those just starting out."

"I'm currently working for this company, and the working conditions are good. A big plus is that the company keeps its word regarding payment agreements – you won't be deceived. Of course, that's if you perform well. The work is satisfactory, the trucks are new, and the managers are good; there's no excessive overtime. Payments are reliable. The instructors are excellent, explaining everything and demonstrating it practically."

"Having come from Belarus with my brother, we've been working here for two weeks. They helped us with all the paperwork, obtained a Code 95 and a complete set of documents. A positive aspect is that they don't force us to violate rest hours, unlike our previous company. Everything was explained during onboarding, and if you drive responsibly and have your paperwork in order, there shouldn't be any issues. So far, it's better than our last experience."

"The company's promises of new trucks and good managers are false. It's considered the worst trucking company in Poland, with poor management, late payments, and unreliable trucks. The attitude of the leadership is also problematic. Working here is suggested only for those with no other options."

"This company is problematic. Payments are frequently delayed. Opportunities to run long distances are rare. The trucks are generally old. Working at the base is preferable. Expect bedbugs, despite attempts at extermination. Facilities are extremely basic, with one toilet for thirty people and a shared shower. The base is isolated, making it difficult to leave. The special vehicle is often broken. Payment is best received at the base; otherwise, it's delayed until return. Paperwork processing takes months and is at the driver's expense. Avoid this company if possible; otherwise, actively seek alternatives. Even inexperienced drivers should steer clear."

"The recruitment process was handled by Marina in Sumy, requiring prepayment for the invitation. Upon arrival in Kolbel, the driver was transported to the company's premises. Accommodation was extremely poor: small, cramped rooms with shared facilities, inadequate kitchen, and desert-like conditions at the base. The driver waited two weeks for a 95 code and another two for paperwork, spending approximately 1000 Polish Zlotys on food. Obtaining a truck involved constant requests and delays. The trucks are in poor condition, with more drivers than available vehicles. Payment was also delayed after trips, and bedbugs were present in some rooms and trucks. The experience felt more like a driver training school than a trucking company."
