"I'm still waiting for my payment for 18 days, for work done in October 2023. I've been on strike since November 24th because the company doesn't care. Last time they stopped sending CMRs, and then didn't pay me for a week. This time, it didn't work, so I'm striking. Three colleagues were on strike last weekend and received their pay. I do not recommend this company at all; it's better to be without work. The trucks are all damaged, only night driving, weekends aren't paid, and you can forget about your final paycheck when you leave! The manager, Marcin, is unprofessional!"

"The manager announced the company's bankruptcy, laid off all drivers and closed the office, and failed to pay employees 1-3 months of wages. I strongly advise against working there, even for experience. There are constant salary delays, requiring drivers to fight for each paycheck and even resort to strikes. Expect frequent night driving and consistently low fuel balances. They also operate under the name TLM Cargo, with the same issues."

"I've been working for the company for two years and can say that the pay is decent, and payments are made on time. Penalties only apply if you make mistakes. Routes are mainly in Germany, sometimes the Netherlands and Belgium, with relaxed driving. Many drivers have worked here for 5 years or more. The company helps with all necessary documents (95 code, medical, psychometric tests, ADR, residence permit). The base is near PoznaΕ„, with a hostel, shower, toilet, kitchen, washing machine, and a vehicle for shopping. Driver swaps happen at the base, and trucks and trailers are repaired promptly. Dispatchers are good people to work with."

"After 3.5 years, the company initially seemed good, but the last six months have been like forced labor. The work consists mostly of overnight runs of 220-440 miles. Drivers work weeks of nights, with fixed unloading times and fines for lateness. Sleep deprivation is a constant struggle. Weekend work isn't paid, and trips to Poland on weekends aren't arranged. Taking vacation on time is nearly impossible, and dates are constantly changed. Vacation time is only 2 days per month worked. Current pay is not competitive (€2200-€2400 as of autumn 2022), but dispatchers are decent. They force employees to work for 3 months before leaving and threaten lawsuits and fines for abandoning the workplace. The company treats drivers poorly, showing no appreciation or understanding. The last 10 months were due to the war in Ukraine, and they forced a trip to Ukraine, requiring a signed document stating no complaints while withholding pay for the last 1.5 months. A greedy and unscrupulous company; I do"

"Avoid this company at all costs; it's terrible even for beginners. They disregard rest hours, fail to bring drivers to the base, dispatchers change frequently, planning is poor, new drivers are forced to violate hours of service regulations, and drivers spend a month at home to reset their logs. Drivers are not brought to their home base, the recruiter promises quick visa processing, but drivers are treated like dogs in a kennel, with no freedom to stay in hotels or visit attractions, only parking lots, which is a violation. The work is awful, with nowhere to park. The trucks are broken down, tires are bald, trailers lack brakes and hazard lights, and drivers are forced to haul oversized loads on standard routes, creating a mandate for the driver. If something breaks, the driver must fix it on the road. Internet access is expensive. Any complaint leads to dismissal without pay. Watch 'Angry Trucker' on YouTube for more information. The police are concerned about this company."

"Avoid this company. Drivers aren't allowed home until their visa expires. Dispatchers force drivers to violate hours of service, and the company doesn't take responsibility. There's constant chaos and turnover, with fines for everything. Payment is only released after completing a contract, which takes 2-3 months. Trucks have bald tires and frequently break down; trailers appear salvaged and are in poor condition. Drivers are responsible for repairs. Airbags in trailers frequently explode. Overall, it's a very problematic situation."

"I've been working here for three years. The pay is consistently reliable and fair, and they don't shortchange you for a job well done. Sometimes the tires are a bit worn, but they replace them at the base when you arrive. It's a workable situation."

"They've realized they need drivers. Payments are timely, logistics communicate well, and trailers are repaired. It sometimes feels like I've joined a different company, which is a great feeling. It was long overdue."

"I've worked at P&S Logistyka for seven years and don't plan to change companies. Agreements with the employer are fulfilled as promised. Payments are made on time, and home visits are punctual. I also fulfill my part of the agreement. Full documentation support is provided for all questions (visa, work permit, residence permit, ADR, etc.). Working with logistics is smooth, provided the driver understands their job. Some drivers just want to sit behind the wheel, and they'll have problems at any company. If you don't earn, there are no fines. If a driver returns home late due to their own scheduling, it's not the company's fault. Everyone wants to earn money, so you need to start with yourself, not look for someone to blame."

"Drivers are treated poorly, management issues fines without notification. Drivers discover fines upon returning to base, and management is evasive when questioned about them. The company is terrible."

"Drivers should only consider working here if they're willing to work for free. Management constantly blames drivers for past and present mistakes. Trucks are constantly breaking down, and drivers are held responsible for repairs and fines, essentially acting as mechanics rather than drivers."
