"Beware of this company. They operate under a different name and initially offer rates of 5500 plus social security contributions on the total amount. After a month, the contract changes to the minimum wage, and they deduct for everything possible, including damage to goods caused by warehouse workers, forklifts, and unrealistic fuel consumption. In the end, you're left with a meager 3000."
"The company is awful. They didn't pay the promised commission. No one seems to know what they're doing, and the boss is always intoxicated. It was a terrible experience for me as a driver."
"I've been driving for Skrzypczyk Trans under Dino for quite some time. Since I started, I've consistently received loads. The rules are clear from the initial job discussion. The company pays full social security contributions as per the agreement and law, reportedly 5000 zł, significantly higher than the minimum wage. Communication is clear and straightforward. As a driver, you do your job, and the employer pays salaries on time. If you have concerns, bring them to light. I've been driving here long enough to know all the drivers, and nobody has complained! They continue to work here. I'm awaiting genuine arguments against working for Skrzypczyk."
"Two to three years ago, I would have recommended this company, when it was managed by Siegfried, a former trucker who founded it. However, after he passed management to his son, Tomek, the treatment of drivers started to decline. Tomek acts like a king, treating drivers and staff like slaves. A deputy director of Tomek, Andrzej Rybak, joined and together they started forcing drivers to violate work and rest schedules, hiring young drivers who don't know the rules, and instructing them to falsify records. They withhold 300 euros from pay for alleged fines, which are returned upon starting a new contract. They switched payment from per diem to per kilometer. Polish drivers began leaving first, now even drivers with 2-3 years of experience are quitting. The company's motto now is 'we don't care about the drivers, we'll hire young ones and do as we please.'"
"Generally, this is a decent company, but with certain conditions."
"Everything stated is true. The company used to be quite bad, but now it's reasonably good, especially regarding pay and the attitude of the former boss, Siegfried."
"Before the pandemic, the company seemed decent, but a negative trend emerged. They hired more drivers than trucks available, leaving drivers at home for months without work. New hires were treated poorly, sometimes forced to travel in passenger vans without breaks across Europe or assigned local tasks. Pay for this 'work' was minimal."
"This company used to be good, but now they prioritize making money, and the drivers are treated poorly. It seems like they are taking advantage of them."
"I would not recommend this company to drivers without experience. It's better to go to Girteka, where the salary is higher and the trucks are newer!"
"The information in previous reviews is entirely true. The company has unfortunately worsened. Drivers' salaries have been reduced, while they are buying new trucks and expanding. They complain that transport is not profitable."
"During two years with this company, there have been three changes in pay rates, leading to daily wages and false pretenses. Weekend pay is nonexistent, and drivers are pressured to sign off on inaccurate records without receiving proper compensation. Kilometrage calculations and unexplained deductions are a constant battle. They consistently withhold 300 euros from salaries, seemingly as a guarantee of attendance. Pay has decreased from 1800 euros to now mostly 1500 euros. The attitude is unprofessional and dismissive of driver concerns. There's manipulation and pressure to violate tachograph regulations. Payment rates fluctuate weekly, making them difficult to understand; rates vary from $0.12 to $0.14 per kilometer depending on mileage. The company prioritizes its own interests over drivers, as the BMW factory work involves minimal mileage and frequent idling. Standby and weekend pay is 20 euros, though some drivers are told to falsify records for 60 euros, which must be kept quiet. "
"Drivers are paid only 20 euros if they drive less than 350 km per day, resulting in approximately 1000 euros earned over six weeks. The company used to be excellent."
"I've worked here for 3 years, and it's unfortunately turned into a chaotic operation. Agreements about work schedules are forgotten as soon as you're on the road, and you're forced back to base whenever they decide, sometimes weeks late. There's a lot of arbitrary rule enforcement. The trucks are mostly Mercedes Euro 6, but many are in poor condition, and the trailers are as well."
"The company has become chaotic, especially with the arrival of the manager, "Mr. Andrzej Rybak." Driver turnover has increased, salaries have been reduced, and pay is now based on mileage. Earnings are approximately €50 per day, with deductions and withholding of funds, creating a significant discrepancy between the promised and actual payment."
