"This company is a fraud, deceiving drivers. They claim to be a group or holding but only have a few trucks. They will likely face consequences for their deceptive practices."

"I've been working here for over a year and am writing at the request of colleagues to describe the real situation. I highly recommend this company because it offers reliability! There were disagreements with Sergey about routes, but if it was my fault, everything was recorded! I'm completely satisfied with the dispatcher Ivan; I'm only in my second year of experience. However, there has never been any deception or delays from the company's side. Good luck to everyone!"

"This is a good company. It seems like there are no normal trucking companies out there. I've been working here for over a year and a half. They treat drivers well, and payments are always on time. Overall, I'm satisfied!"

"I was surprised to read so many negative reviews. My experience was positive: I had an interview in November 2019 and received an invitation in January, with a visa starting in February. The visa was for 6 months. Upon arrival, everything was fine. I quickly started my first route within a week. I received an advance of 200 euros in March and was paid accurately, minus the advance. Since then, my salary has always arrived on time. The company is better than my previous Polish employer due to Russian-speaking logistics, longer routes, and a salary 200-300 euros higher. The only downside is working with tarps, but the pay compensates for it."

"This company's regulations are designed to exploit drivers, with all the worst practices from Hegelmann and Girteka. Drivers do the work, while the owner, Denis, profits by inventing fines for pallets, unauthorized stops, and downtime. Expect to work excessively long periods, often exceeding two months without relief, and to have a significant portion of your earnings withheld as a deposit. Upon termination, final pay will only cover travel expenses home. Avoid this company."

"This company is a terrible experience. They make false promises, including a bus that never materialized. Pay is unreliable, with deductions for everything and significant route restrictions with hefty fines for deviations. Weekend procedures involve chip manipulation and avoiding police. Fuel theft and cargo theft are rampant. Maintenance is inadequate and drivers are blamed for issues. The final payment was significantly short, and the driver was deceived about the amount and signing of documents. This company is a scam."

"This is entirely true. I confirm 100%. It's better to work at Hegelmann than with this young man who only knows how to squeeze money from drivers and has no idea how to do the job."

"I've worked for this company for two years and decided to share my experience after reading the reviews. With 12 years of experience across different companies, I have a lot to compare it to. I've never had deductions from my pay because I do my job honestly. I recommend this company! Those who leave negative reviews likely received speeding tickets, drove excessive mileage, overloaded vehicles, and returned home with excuses instead of pay. They were likely terminated. The company clearly warns drivers about potential deductions for damage, speeding tickets, theft of fuel, and unnecessary mileage. They state that if you can't follow traffic laws, you should work for a company that allows you to damage vehicles and drive excessive distances. All potential deductions are transparently explained."

"I read the reviews and it's frightening. I've worked for this company for over a year. Everything written is nonsense! The only positive thing is that we used to be transported by bus, which the company paid for; now we drive directly from Warsaw. We travel the same routes as large companies like Girteka, etc. There are no hidden deductions in pay. Everything is as agreed upon during hiring. I recommend this company. It's rare to find a company that fulfills its obligations completely and on time. Those drivers writing negative reviews should stay home and drive Kamazes!"

"I strongly advise against this company. They deceive drivers, fail to pay, and use deceptive tactics, leaving drivers shortchanged. They are extremely cunning and prioritize their own gain over fairness. Avoid this company at all costs."
