"The company is average with high turnover. Drivers are primarily Ukrainian. Pay is $1700 once a month, with no additional earnings possible. During the training period, the pay is €20 per workday (excluding weekends) minus taxes. For the first two to four weeks, you'll likely ride alongside, sleep on a top bunk, and the cab will be cluttered. Your first real paycheck arrives in the third month. There are upfront costs: 600 złoty for code 95, 200 złoty for residency, 150 złoty for a psychotest, 200 złoty for a medical exam (only the medical exam is reimbursed), deducted on the first day. Plus, accommodation in Slubice for one week costs 40 złoty per day, with food costing around €5-10 per day if you cook yourself. The dispatcher is difficult during the first assignment, leading many drivers to consider confrontation afterwards."

"I've been here for five years and I don't really know what I'm doing anymore, probably just because I'm used to it. Pay ranges from $8,300 to over $25,000, depending on luck. Money is deducted for other people's mistakes, and it's almost impossible to prove. I haven't heard of or received salaries as high as $21,000, and there are additional deductions."

"The trucks are mostly DAF, Renault, and Volvo, but generally in poor condition. Service is lacking, and the trailers (reefers, curtainsiders, and containers) are also problematic. The onboarding process is difficult due to an incompetent person named Mascha. Drivers are charged for various expenses, including a significant fee for a short stopover (400 zlotys). Reimbursement is only provided for medical exams. Drivers may be assigned different trailer types unexpectedly."

"My first stint was tough! Things are routine now. Drivers are varied, as they are everywhere. There are many good people from different areas. Pay is reliable."

"What about the pay? Are only Ukrainian drivers hired? I've heard the company is good."

"They said I need a Ukrainian Code 95 to be hired, as my license is Ukrainian, I need a code from that country. Apparently, all their drivers do this... Seems like a scam???"

"Having worked for several companies, I found the treatment here to be reciprocal – how you work is how you're treated. I had no issues; they were understanding and respectful, even assisting with personal document-related matters. I'm grateful for 2 years of collaboration."

"Don't believe the good reviews for this company. The salary is up to 8600 Polish zlotys, but earning that money is very difficult."

"The company is decent for starting out, but that's all. The attitude towards drivers is like treating them poorly, especially from the dispatchers. There's a fine for not being able to enter the base in Belgium on weekends. Driving is done illegally, with automatic transmission."

"I worked for this company and do not recommend it. Operations were consistently dishonest, including falsifying logbooks, driving without logs, shortened breaks (7 hours), and more. Logistics is non-existent; they fail to calculate mileage even when provided with accurate information. There's no buffer time. I experienced 45 hours of driving without logs. The worst part is signing documents upon returning from vacation, falsely claiming you performed these actions independently. They deny responsibility if DOT audits occur, blaming it on logistics manager Roma, who selects drivers he deems 'easily controlled'."

"I'm not a driver myself, but I work closely with them as they purchase oil for our vehicles. I visit frequently. It's a solid company with a large fleet of new trucks. They always need drivers and have a good repair shop. The fleet mainly consists of Volvos, though they've recently started acquiring Mercedes MegaSpaces as well."

"I worked at Nilson for a year. The initial training and work permit information seemed positive, but my experience involved two months of paired driving followed by a transition to solo work across Europe. Salary details are available on their website. Any discrepancies in pay were always clarified by the accounting department, who provided clear and understandable explanations. Overall, I had a positive impression."

"This job isn't easy, but the pay is fair. A significant advantage is that drivers aren't expected to load or unload cargo, unlike in many other companies where dispatchers often suggest drivers assist with these tasks. Here, you're treated as a driver, not a loader."

"Overall, there's a lot I can't say, as this is my first European company, previously I worked in Ukraine. This company, Shchebttransavto, is a world of difference - from the salary to the European roads."

"A friend recommended this company for starting work in Europe. He worked there for 3 years and says that everything is generally stable, payments are on time, and all the trucks are new. I decided to listen to him and sent my documents and resume to Nilson, now I'm waiting."

"This company is finished. They engage in illegal driving practices."

"The company's office is located near the German border. There's a new manager who cares about the company, and there are no more violations. I've worked there for two years and feel things are much better than they used to be. I recommend Nilsen for those looking for work, and they've also created a subsidiary called Jenson."

"Having worked in Poland since 2013 and experienced multiple companies, I can say this one treated me well. My experience was positive; I felt understood and respected, and they even assisted me with personal document-related issues. I'm grateful for 2 years of collaboration."

"I have 4 years of experience hauling with them, including 2 years with Nilson. The trucks are new and well-maintained, mostly Volvos. Pensions are paid on time. They appreciate good work and treat you well."

"After reading reviews, I haven't experienced any illegal activity, late payments, or poor treatment. The team is great; I'm unsure why others have written negative things."

"I arrived in Poland. I'd been to Poland before, once on a construction site and once in a factory. Compared to those experiences, this job is fantastic. The trucks are new, the dispatchers are good, and the attitude is human. They even helped my friends with their documents. I recommend it!"

"I've been working for 4 years, 2 of which were with this company. It wasn't easy at first, but it takes time to get acquainted with everyone and the processes. I switched here because they offer better conditions, mainly due to the salary and reliable payments. My colleagues recommended them, and I haven't experienced any issues with questionable loads."

"I honestly don't understand why people write bad things when they leave Nilson. I haven't heard anything negative from anyone while working here. It's strange how much negativity is directed at people when they leave. The pay is good, there are no late payments, and there's no illegal driving like in other companies. I've worked for three companies before Nilson and know what I'm talking about."

"I've been with the company since January 2016. Travel expenses to Slubice were covered, and paperwork was completed. I work under a contract. My salary is around 2000 euros. Many people have transitioned from other companies because they were tired of operating off the books. I used to drive a DAF, but recently the fleet has been updated to Volvo. The tires are new, which makes for a pleasant driving experience."

"Conditions have improved recently, and the company needs to hire 200 drivers because trucks are waiting. They likely secured a large contract. The fleet includes Volvo, DAF, and Renault vehicles. Pay is reliable with no delays, and there's no illegal driving."

"I've been with this company for 2 months. They helped me with the documents and invitation to work. I haven't experienced any illegal runs. I've made friends with the team, and the dispatchers are good. Compared to Ukrainian companies, it's a completely different world."

"I'm surprised by your statements. You claim to operate silently in Ukraine, but here you say there are fines and penalties. Here, no one forces you to work overtime, yet you mention fines. Are you here to stand around or to work? Perhaps you should remain a homebody."

"I've been driving in Europe for eight years. I've worked for Nilson for four years. They've hired a lot of people since the manager changed, and I haven't heard any bad reviews about them, which is why I left my previous company."

"I spoke with people who already work at Nilsson and asked about the company's details. A friend's acquaintance has worked there for two years, and I talked to him. He told me everything. I completed an internship and am now waiting for my paperwork to be finalized."

"Hello everyone, I drove around Ukraine for three years and decided to look for a better life on the roads of Europe. I chose Nilson because I found their vacancy online, read reviews, and decided to try it. I completed the internship and started driving. So far, I don't see any negatives. I've been working for three months. I'll keep you updated."

"Vitya was right; they've improved conditions because they need drivers. Now, they offer some of the best conditions in Europe, and trucks are readily available."

"Everyone has their own opinion, but I had a positive experience working here. It's your life, and you decide your own fate. Don't let others discourage you."

"The experience depends on the managers; when they are good, the work is good. I'm considering joining Nilson because I've heard from colleagues that the new manager is good."

"I worked with them for a month as a rear driver. They responded to my questions on Viber and I submitted my documents. I passed an interview and completed an internship in Poland. The office is located near the German border. The team is good, and the boss seems balanced. Salary plus diet are provided. The trucks are relatively new."

"My husband has been working there for six months. Initially, he was often home, but now he says there's a lot of work and he rarely comes home. Is there another driver named Nilson? Is it true you now have a large number of orders?"

"During the interview, I felt like I was being talked down to about adhering to work hours. There was also a casual comment about visiting if my spouse is frequently away."

"Earnings are comparable to other companies. You work hard, and you're compensated accordingly, which is logical."

"I've worked here for a long time. There were issues with previous management, but things have improved significantly with the current leadership. The trucks are decent, and payments are processed through a cash register."

"Overall, the job is similar to others - it requires hard work, but it's not the worst. It's slightly better than average. The trucks are fine and there are no issues with them."

"The truck fleet is decent. Initially, you get a good foundation and a nice truck, unlike other companies with unreliable vehicles that you just hope won't break down on the road. Work hours depend on the volume of orders the company has."

"I've read some things online about this company. It seems to be average overall, including the vehicle fleet. The only positive is that there's consistent work and no downtime."

"Hi everyone and safe travels. I'm asking those who work there: what's the average salary like? How about illegal driving, toll roads, and fuel norms? How much is deducted and for what? I worked for a company in Germany with a Polish visa and it was awful – charges for phone calls, internet, a fabricated lawyer fee of €90, laundry, showers... it was a constant stream of new deductions."

"The pay is good, around €45 extra per day, and relatively stable. The driving assignments are infrequent, with a 3-month work period followed by a break."

"I'm currently interning. They thoroughly check trailer driving skills, so don't claim expertise if you lack it. This role requires experience hauling trailers. The work involves 3 months in Germany, France, Belgium, and Holland. Trucks have Belgian plates and are relatively new, only a few years old. Pay is good, earning €45 per day on the road. Everything seems normal. Some have mentioned illegal driving, but we were told it's prohibited."

"I worked there a year ago and previously spent time on 45 WEMARS, alongside drivers from Nilson, exclusively using curtain-sided trailers. The company denies issues, but four times totaling 15 hours is a clear indication of driver shortages. Those new to Europe, learn about TAHO and disregard what 'Shrek' says."

"My friend worked there for two years and says everything is generally stable, with timely pay and all trucks new."

"The training program is thorough and assesses driving skills with trailers. Drivers work for three months in Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, using new Belgian-registered trucks a few years old. Pay is good, with a base rate plus €45 per day on the road. The company prohibits illegal driving practices."

"I've been working here for about six months, and it's a good company. The work is tough, but the pay is good. The team in the main office is great and always willing to help."

"I've been working here for six months, and it's a good company. The work is demanding, but the pay is good. The team in the main office is great and always willing to help."

"Offices of these companies are located close to each other, even sharing the same address. Many drivers are from Ukraine, and it's surprising there aren't more reviews. I've met people who have worked there for up to 7 years, and they report earnings of €1750-€1800, similar to what we earn. They operate routes to France, Germany, and the Benelux countries."

"This company is great and I recommend it! Drivers haul loads up to 35 tons and work 15 hours a day. The trucks are a bit rough, with trailers that have issues like wheels falling off. Despite this, the experience is amazing and full of adrenaline. The colleagues from Ukraine are the best."

"I've read the forum, and it seems there are some negative comments about the company."

"Worked at Nilson for 3 months. There are many positives: timely pay, good trucks, all documentation is in order, they provide boots, a helmet, glasses, a vest, and other equipment. However, there's one major negative - driving 'off the books,' meaning excessive overtime, up to 100 hours every two weeks, with 7-hour breaks occurring daily, resulting in a total of 15 working hours and 9-hour breaks. The company will pay fines if the police stop you, but won't cover deportation. Logistics struggles with tachograph calculations, causing many issues. The attitude towards drivers is poor, with logistics personnel acting disrespectfully, and management doesn't care about complaints."
