"Things haven't improved. Drivers are leaving, and the trucks are aging. Repairs are often blamed on the drivers, even for worn brakes. Fueling sometimes comes out-of-pocket, though reimbursement eventually arrives. Drivers in 'C' category positions can forget about proper hours of service and final pay. Extra work is paid, but it's often less profitable than other options."

"Things are as they always were... Don't believe a word of it. If you enjoy being demeaned, this company is for you. They sent me a pit 11 document, and experts revealed that the company wasn't paying taxes fully, meaning I am not socially protected."

"I'm still seeing the same issues in 2023. Recent drivers are struggling to get paid, with only 2 out of 10 receiving payment. Families are reportedly paying between 3000 and 6000 euros. Consider this carefully. The truck has been repaired."

"The work itself is interesting, but pay is inconsistent, with promises of mileage or daily rates often unmet. Payment is often partial, with the remainder due in Lublin. There are no standard amenities. The company operates under the French agency Citernord. Only Anya is a positive person within the company. I do not recommend this company; it's a scam. After three months, I was only paid €1700, with the rest promised for future work. This is how they exploit drivers."

"This company is highly problematic; drivers warn against working here, stating they will be abandoned regarding payment. The equipment is poor and maintenance is lacking; Girteka is a better option."

"I'm still surprised this company is still operating and has drivers. I worked there a couple of years ago and they cheated on pay, only paying shell companies. If you want to be exploited, this is the place."

"This company is a complete scam. It's for those who don't mind working for free. They operate with rented trucks and have no in-house dispatch. Payments are unreliable and often late. They promise a lot – regular pay and well-equipped trucks – but deliver neither. Getting a replacement driver is a long wait. The owner, Vladimir Petrovich Trigubyuk, and mechanic Sergey Golyan tell elaborate stories. Don't waste your time or nerves; avoid this company."

"I completely agree with the previous review - it's a scam. Don't even consider working there. They now require a 1.5-year contract to do temporary work, demanding compensation for training if you leave early. You won't receive any money if you quit. You only get paid when you're in the truck. If you want to ruin your nerves and don't know when you'll be home, welcome to a terrible experience."

"If you're looking for deceptive practices, this is the place. The only positive aspect is the manager, Vova, in the office, who seems to be overly enthusiastic."
