"I worked for 8 weeks, as I was no longer allowed to work longer, despite initial promises. When I started, I was told I could work as much as I wanted, but then I was removed from the cadence because drivers were waiting for trucks. We consistently work over 90 hours every two weeks, sometimes exceeding 93. Rest periods are often between 9, 11, 24, or 45 minutes, and sometimes I'm pressured to skip rest breaks until they're completed. Pay is good, with 80% paid monthly and the remainder after the cadence. Routes cover all of Europe, from Switzerland to Sweden and Norway, even Greece. Occasionally, I receive trucks from Indian drivers. The HR department, specifically Eleanor, provides misleading information during the hiring process; be cautious."

"I worked for this company. They say there are no pallet exchanges or less-than-truckload shipments, but that's a lie. There were often 3-5 pallet exchanges. Also, if you don't reach your mileage, your pay will be lower – they shorted me, claiming I didn’t accumulate enough miles, and they don’t care that the loads are poor. Drivers are pushed to their limits; you barely get 5-10 minutes for loading/unloading. You use their navigation system, and routes are planned via interstates and marked signs, meaning you'll pay fines out of your own pocket if you violate them. There are many unpleasant drivers (idiots), so be prepared to feel like a slave. Van replacements involve 4-5 people, and if there's an Indian driver, you'll transport and guide him to his vehicle (they don’t have a Class B license). Replacements typically come from Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, meaning you'll spend about 28-36 hours in a van."

"This company is terrible. The starting rate is low, and subsequent loads pay less than 7%. There are small bonuses, but the loading/unloading times are excessive, often exceeding 15-45 minutes, eliminating rest breaks. Eco-driving bonuses are minimal, and drivers are expected to immediately start driving without proper warm-up, even in traffic, often idling to save fuel. Bonuses are controlled by managers who make arbitrary decisions, often demonstrating a lack of basic competence. Earning a decent wage requires sacrificing safety and adhering to the manager's demands."

"This is the worst company I've experienced. Management doesn't understand the job, constantly takes money from drivers, and struggles with basic timekeeping. They treat drivers as expendable, parking is paid, there are constant violations and overtime, breaks are frequently interrupted, and they threaten non-payment. The pay system is exploitative, with a low starting wage, hidden deductions, and bonuses tied to rule-breaking. Drivers face threats of withheld pay and are blamed for everything, even traffic jams. The company lacks its own logistics and takes on undesirable loads. It's a stressful environment where you're always at fault."

"I've worked at this company for 5 years, and some of the reviews don't reflect reality. Occasionally, I've had to bend the rules to explore different cities and lakes, and sometimes managers have asked for closer drop-offs, which is normal. People who complain seem to expect a resort-like experience. Overall, I'm satisfied; the company regularly updates its fleet, rewards good work with bonuses, and allows flexibility in work hours. I've experienced various situations, including accidents, but mechanics are understanding and won't penalize minor damage. If you're willing to work and earn, you'll succeed."

"This company is awful. Routes are exclusively on national highways with no parking, fuel theft occurs and the company blames drivers. Drivers are responsible for company fines, even when caused by company errors. Upon contract completion, coordinators invent charges to deduct from final pay, which is paid in installments with a 30% withholding delayed for a week. Constant pressure to rush, minimal rest, and penalties for refusing night driving lead to tachograph violations. Office staff avoids addressing driver concerns and feign ignorance. Avoid this company."

"This company is awful. Drivers are constantly rushed, given no rest breaks, and frequently experience delays. Dispatchers are incompetent and fail to respect drivers' time. Promised pay is often different from what's received, with excuses about insufficient work hours. Drivers are continually pushed on long-haul routes."

"This company is a disaster. The calculations are unjustified, and there's constant manipulation of pay. There are many logistics personnel, but they lack experience. We drive as fast as possible and stop as little as possible. It's not possible to leave tools in the trucks. We are transported to assignments in vans with up to five people, with driver changes across Europe. Everything has been cut. Drivers have been hired from all over the world. The lectures are true, they teach you like a young man even if you're 50. The trucks are old; those purchased from Gerteck are considered new."

"This company was a terrible experience. Drivers are treated poorly and are often from the CIS countries. There's constant pressure to speed, excessive micromanagement, deceptive pay practices, and accounting manipulations to minimize tax refunds for drivers. Only suitable for building up work history; ultimately, it's a waste of time."
