"I switched from a terrible company (Saks Trans) where they deduct for everything and treat drivers like disposable resources to a good company with decent pay. I won't tell you the name of the good company; you'll have to find it in job postings and learn Polish. We don't have driver recruitment here."

"I've been working here since March 2024 and I'm not planning to leave. Everyone is different, and reviews reflect individual experiences. Personally, I'm very satisfied. There's no pressure to rush, no night driving, pallets, or deductions. Weekends are always paid off. Many drivers have been here for three, five, or ten years. It's a great place for inexperienced drivers. Everyone has their own preferences. Pay is always on time and doesn't require recalculations. I recently switched to a new MAN truck, which is fantastic. Those who are unhappy here will likely be unhappy everywhere. My family has more than enough, and the most important thing is that everything is calm and there are no nerves."

"After three and a half years, a change in management has negatively impacted working conditions for drivers."

"The pay is as promised, and many drivers have been with the company for three years or more. Document handling could be improved, but they try their best. It's a decent starting point, but experiences vary. The company is Polish, and speaking Polish is helpful."

"A decent company. As long as you fulfill your duties, things will be fine. Those who write negative reviews are likely unreliable drivers themselves. I've worked here for two years with no problems. I recommend it!"

"This is a good company. The HR team is excellent, handling documents according to labor law and paying salaries on time without any issues. The trucks are new or relatively new. There's a lot of long-haul driving, which has both pros and cons depending on individual preference. Drivers choose their routes and aren't forced into undesirable deliveries. Hours of Service are followed, but drivers need to be knowledgeable about them. Uniforms are provided, but sometimes the complete set isn't available; a 100 euro deduction applies if you leave without returning it. Training and communication with dispatchers are in Polish. Dispatchers vary in quality, some are helpful, others less so."

"The process with Sach Trans was extremely frustrating. After submitting documents, there was a two-month delay for an invitation, despite having a visa. Communication was unhelpful and vague, with constant delays. Colleagues who had previously worked with the company also experienced significant delays in obtaining necessary paperwork and vehicles, leading to difficult living conditions and unexpected expenses. Ultimately, the applicant found another company that processed everything much faster, resulting in a significant loss of time."

"The reviews here give the impression of working for a terrible company! Drivers need to learn to drive and use navigation. Some drivers lack basic skills like connecting trailers and drink excessively. After three years, things are easier than initially, but issues remain. If you do your job well, things are generally fine, and you're responsible for your own mistakes. Pay is as expected, but requires careful tracking. Interactions vary; good performance avoids complaints. Logistics have significantly impacted work. International routes were preferable in the past. A significant issue is the company hiring inexperienced drivers who don't understand the difficulty of the work, damaging the company's reputation."

"Gentlemen! I've worked for this company for almost a year, and I'll tell you this! Of course, it's not a driver's paradise, but it's not hell either! I drove oversized loads, and unlike the standard, I took all the new changes, like refueling 200 liters per day, very hard because it's significantly more difficult for me to get off the highway with a 21-meter trailer to refuel. But if you plan to travel long distances and are far from the base, you can easily call the base fueler, and he will unlock your card and you can refuel as much as you need!"

"Do not enter this mess! The initial impression is smooth, but once you sign the papers, you become 'nobody.' Welcome to Sachs Trans if you are a masochist!"

"This company, Sachs Trans, is not recommended, especially for inexperienced drivers or those unfamiliar with Polish. The recruitment process involves intermediary agencies, with a suspicious emphasis on positive reviews in Lviv. There are issues with original code 95 retention, questionable accommodation arrangements, and a repetitive, Polish-language training program. Drivers are often forced onto "your/my" routes without compensation, and there's pressure to prioritize cargo delivery over legal compliance, potentially leading to fines. The company has a history of manipulating dispatch records and delayed unloading, leaving drivers stranded with personal expenses."
