"As of May 8, 2024, Stebal has not paid February's wages. No explanation is provided, and attempts to reach anyone are unsuccessful. Inquiries are met with rudeness and threats."

"I worked at Stebal for over six months, starting with no experience in Europe. Andrei explained everything needed for the job. Initially, I had an older truck for a month and a half, traveling as a paired team due to a lack of available trucks. Then I was assigned a Mercedes with cameras, automatic steering, air conditioning, a heater, built-in TomTom navigation (showing traffic), and around 300,000 kilometers. My logistics contact was excellent, and I mainly drove from Germany to Spain. She planned routes and sent them to the navigation system. I received medical insurance and a salary advance of 200 euros and 1000 crowns. Payments were reliable, with no delays or deductions, although the calculations were sometimes unclear but close to the promised amount. There were two insurance incidents – a damaged bumper and a service visit to Germany. I was stressed about one incident and sent many photos for insurance claims, but the contact didn't respond. Colleagues told me a significant amo"

"This is a good company; all promised conditions are met. Pay is stable and as expected, with occasional bonuses. The trucks are in good condition, which is important after payment. I enjoy driving them, especially Mercedes. I complete my tasks well and receive all the agreed-upon compensation. If you enjoy drinking and then complaining while abandoning trucks, don't work anywhere. Even positive reviewers complain about logistics, but I and my friends have had good experiences with dispatchers. Overall, things are good here."

"Drivers report being forced to purchase uniforms costing 8000 krona, with the company covering half and deducting the rest from salaries, with a promise of reimbursement later in the year. New drivers are only promised reimbursement if they return on a D visa. Salary payments have been delayed by over 10 days. Routes primarily avoid highways. Drivers are penalized for minor vehicle scratches, with a mysterious insurance policy that no one has seen. Dispatchers push drivers excessively, disregarding hours and parking locations. The company treats drivers as expendable, as there's a large pool of new applicants. The overall experience has significantly deteriorated."

"The drivers were treated poorly, not paid what they were owed, and forced to drive on rough roads. They have to pay for parking, are pushed to rush, and are charged for work clothes. It seems the company expects employees to work without proper compensation."

"The dispatcher, even after two years, lacks understanding of logistics and the transportation industry. She frequently asks basic questions, distracting other dispatchers and creating unnecessary delays. High turnover rates make providing uniforms pointless, as drivers quickly leave."

"This week the company has been great, but six dispatchers didn't work due to unpaid wages. Fellow drivers, if you decide to work for this company, bring enough money for food and your return trip home. Good luck to everyone."

"I reviewed the comments before posting. I feel sympathy for the family of the deceased colleague; it's sad."

"This company is deceptive and fraudulent. Drivers are paid between €1200 and €1500. While national roads are free, they don't reimburse for paid parking. It's a 'black taxi' operation with constant violations and fines imposed by the company. Dispatchers are rude and demand money from drivers. Be cautious and don't believe positive reviews, as they are likely self-promotion."

"Over two years, this driver claims to have lost approximately 300,000 koruns due to fabricated fines and discrepancies in pay. He earned only 8,000 koruns for a full month, and faced issues with CMR documents and invoices. The management team is accused of profiting from fines, leading to high employee turnover. The driver strongly advises against working for this company."

"After two months of working for Stebale, I've calmed down and decided to write a review. My name is Sergey Ustimenko, and I worked on truck number 153 for 2.5 months. Upon arrival at the base, there were no available trucks, and I waited a short time. A trainee with no experience was assigned to me. The contract was for 2-3 trips, but it lasted a month. It was cut short when I started to complain that it was uncomfortable to work in pairs, and they were pushing us to drive constantly, then telling us how long to wait (9 hours). We waited 11 hours and then drove. Dispatcher Yura called and said I was over the allotted wait time, so I received a 100 euro fine. He didn't consider that I had worked 20 hours when he asked me to wait 9. They seem to think the second driver sleeps while the first is driving. I waited a week in a rundown dormitory for my truck. When I informed Andrey that I was ready to go home, they said a truck would be available in two days. I waited. Dispatcher Tanya was g"

"This company is awful. They don't pay drivers, and you'll be made to feel responsible for their mistakes. Avoid if you don't want to work for free."

"If you want to work, this is a good place to start. My colleagues and I consistently receive timely pay, work with reliable logistics, and have well-maintained trucks. After an initial learning curve, I've been earning between $1900 and $2100 consistently for the past year and a half, understanding the intricacies of working in Europe."

"This company is a scam. Drivers on 3-month visas are exploited, working only 2.5 months before being cheated out of pay. The first month's earnings are lost to mysterious fees. One driver received drastically different paychecks, and another wasn't paid for 27 days of work. Bank card issues and delayed payments are common. The company refuses to process 2-year visas. Employees are dismissed despite having work records. It's recommended to avoid this company entirely, as it's a fraudulent operation exploiting drivers, even those with extensive experience. People previously employed at reputable companies like Girteka have also fallen victim."

"I worked on truck number 107 from February to March 2019. Everything was fine."

"The truck (board #107) was in terrible condition; doors wouldn't open or close properly, the engine was failing, and it had over a million miles. It was in this state as of January 2019. The management is clearly negligent."

"Don't be fooled by this company. The reviews from drivers are completely true. I experienced it firsthand. You won't earn any money, and you'll end up in debt. I've been waiting for my salary for five months, with no prospects. Everyone is avoiding the issue. I wish I had listened to the reviews and not gone to this company. Someone needs to be held accountable. I advise everyone to avoid this mess."

"The reviewer states that HELENE pays very little (100-200 euros) and Stebal pays significantly more (15,000-17,000 for three months). They describe their experience with HELENE as terrible and Stebal as a fraudulent company. They previously worked for Hegelmann, Transtira, and Waraber, and are currently working for Waraber where they feel respected. They advise avoiding companies with few reviews."

"My name is Anatoly. I arrived in Stebal on March 2, 2020. My first paycheck was received on April 21st for the month of March, totaling 44,600 krona. I had previously worked in Latvia, where the company closed down; the pay was roughly the same as in Latvia. I already had a code, just obtained my license and medical examination, and started working. Truck number 152. Everything at work is normal, as it is everywhere, nothing extraordinary."

"I've been working for three months on my third run. I'm from Kemerovo, Russia. Overall, I have no complaints about the work; the trucks have always been decent. I thought it would be difficult to get started, but it was easier than pulling a semi-trailer. I rarely haul heavy loads, mostly 12-14 tons of items like tissues, diapers, and sanitary pads. I'm happy with my dispatcher, Aneecha. My pay has always been what I earned; deductions are only made for my own mistakes, and the company covers any errors on their end. I plan to continue working here."

"Colleagues, greetings to everyone considering STEBLO. This company is not as wonderful as it seems. Don't believe the positive reviews; they're false, likely written by office staff. With 200 trucks arriving monthly from Ukraine and Russia, constantly seeking at least 50 drivers, it's clear people are being deceived and drivers are leaving in droves. Turnover rates are high. Respect yourselves and your families. The company has dishonest individuals who will shift blame onto drivers for personal gain. Those who have worked there for years, be warned: you will be judged for your false posts. I've seen questionable individuals and drivers who don't even know how to check basic equipment."

"I've been with Stebal for two years and it's a good company to work for. They always pay on time, and the trucks are from 2019 and in great condition. I definitely recommend this company."

"This company has serious issues. Multiple drivers abandoned their trucks within days, citing problems and urging others to avoid it. The company's response was dismissive, blaming drivers for not wanting to work. Vehicles are poorly maintained, with expired inspections, faulty equipment, and damaged cargo covers. Pay issues and a lack of proper paperwork are also reported. Dispatchers are reportedly aggressive and pressure drivers to violate regulations, leading to terminations and unpaid wages. Several drivers experienced significant financial losses."

"The company is a scam. There's no insurance for trucks or cargo. They push contracts onto drivers that make them fully responsible, potentially leading to jail time in accidents. They don't process Code 95 certifications, and other documents are fake. Trucks consume excessive fuel and receive no maintenance, resulting in deductions from drivers' pay. Daily rates in the Czech Republic are €8, taking 40% of earnings. Salaries are minimal. They may withhold the final paycheck. There's no base, drivers live in their trucks, sharing a single washing machine and shower room with toilets. The advertised $2200 is a lie; drivers receive closer to 30,000-35,000 krona, and it's often less after deductions. A constant turnover of drivers – many leave within a week, with only 5-6 remaining. Experienced drivers quickly recognize the issues and leave."

"This is my fourth company in Europe. I previously worked for Hegelmann in Poland, and I never earned more than €1250."

"This company is a scam. The positive reviews are likely from office staff. They exploit drivers, are dishonest, and treat employees poorly. They consistently short drivers on pay, and the trucks are poorly maintained, with drivers responsible for repair costs. Drivers are pressured to violate regulations and face threats of fines. Avoid this company."

"The pay is highly variable, with some drivers earning around €1500 and others only €800-€1200, often due to deductions for CMR documents, vehicle repairs, and other expenses. There's a risk of not receiving pay at all. Work is extremely demanding, with long hours and pressure. Drivers may work without proper documentation and in poorly maintained vehicles. It's a risky situation."

"This company is full of scammers and dishonest people. Drivers are frequently abandoned with trucks on the road, which is a huge red flag. They treat drivers like cattle and force them into a situation where they might abandon their vehicles. Multiple drivers have reported similar experiences. I only lasted two weeks despite having four years of experience in Europe."

"Working on a two-year visa, which is nearing expiration and will require renewal. The work itself is good; the first stint was challenging due to my age (59) and lack of prior experience in Europe, but I learned quickly. After the second stint, I developed a great rapport with the dispatcher, and things went very well. My lowest salary was 40,000 krona in January and December (due to many holidays), while the rest of the months I earned 44,000-48,000 krona."

"I was surprised by the number of negative reviews. My interview was in November 2019, and I was told I'd receive an invitation in January and a visa starting February 3rd. The visa was for three months, so I was scheduled to return home on May 2nd. Everything went well upon arrival. I obtained my license quickly. I received an advance in March and my February salary on March 20th, with all deductions correct. Since then, my pay has been consistent and on time. Due to the pandemic, I was fortunate to receive an extension on my visa, allowing me to work two more months and earn extra money. This company is better than my previous one, with bilingual logistics, long routes, easy loads (around 12 tons), and a higher salary (200-300 euros more). The downside is working with older trucks, but the pay makes up for it. I'll return if they promise a newer truck in the future."

"The mileage discrepancy is significant; the driver's recorded mileage (37,553 km) doesn't match the accounting records (26,348 km), raising concerns about payroll accuracy. Advances were also mishandled, with incorrect amounts and subsequent corrections leading to further discrepancies. This indicates a serious lack of transparency and potentially fraudulent practices."

"This company is awful. They exploit drivers, the accounting and management are terrible, and the claims manager is problematic. Don't work here, even if you're desperate, as they will rob, humiliate, and discard you. Many drivers have been deceived. I've been waiting a year for my final paycheck and it's not coming. They are rude and dishonest."

"This is a scam! Someone from the office claims they don't need a code [license]! How did they get to the Czech Republic on a three-month visa? They're ripping people off. Licenses in Slovakia are valid for two years, after which people can typically get a job anywhere and obtain permanent residency. Be careful what you read and who you trust."

"I worked for this company in the Czech Republic a year ago and wasn't given the necessary paperwork unless I paid for it myself. I completed training, and the company deducted the costs of my license, medical exams, and psychological evaluations from my salary, totaling 350 euros before I even got behind the wheel. I'm shocked to hear others say you can operate without these requirements at this company."

"I understand they deduct even for the license at this company... I've never heard of such a thing. They might even charge for the air in the cab, why not? I wanted to work there, but now I realize this is a scam. The manager is deceiving people; there are no such conditions or salaries at Stebal. They don't resolve any issues for drivers and lie. I have extensive experience in Europe, including the Czech Republic, having worked for 8 years. I wanted to change companies because of reduced work and lower pay, and it's become more difficult and expensive to reach work, especially for routes to Germany and then Spain. The Czechs are not in the middle, I thought it would be easier. I listened to your stories about a $2200 salary and good conditions, but God led me to meet one of your drivers at a crosswalk who has been working for you for years. I looked at his shoes, pants tucked into socks, the trailer, the condition of the cab, and most importantly, he showed me the salary breakdown. The"

"My dear colleagues! There's a lot to say about this company, but it's definitely not a place you want to work. You won't earn anything here; it's a place where you're misunderstood in every way. It's best if they work it out themselves. They hire Chechens and Romanians... and they'll tell you about it. There's no point in listing everything, as people have already described it. Be smarter. I regret believing it, it happens, and I blame myself for wasting three months of my life."

"This company isn't the best I've worked for, but it's not the worst either – it's average. The trucks are in decent condition, and the logistics coordinator is reasonable; we worked well together. Pay is usually on time, although there was one instance of a one-week delay. Overall, it's a normal company that pays well and follows the law. Management doesn't impose unnecessary fees and is accessible. I was surprised by some of the negative reviews, as I've had a positive experience and know others who have."

"Stebal is a generally good company. Pay arrives on time, and advances are available. I was given a choice of routes, and I have no complaints about the logistics manager. Overall, I had a good impression of the work. Thank you."

"This company is a scam. They offer routes that don't exist, withhold pay, deduct money for fuel consumption without explanation, force drivers to use Google Maps for routing leading to constant speeding and fines, and fail to provide necessary permits like the 95 code for European transport. Drivers are frequently abandoned and left to fend for themselves. The company constantly hires new drivers, which suggests a high turnover rate and a system of exploitation. They provide fake documents, potentially leading to legal trouble, and the overall experience is one of deception and hardship."

"I want to express my gratitude to the company and especially to Yan Migla, who fully understood the situation and helped resolve it. I successfully completed my first work visa and am now waiting at home for the new one. I will continue to work with them. What I like about the job: 1) loyal attitude, 2) high salary, 3) dispatchers speak a language I understand (though not Ukrainian). Undoubtedly, this is a responsible company where it is pleasant to work."

"This company is a respectable workplace and a great training ground for new drivers in Europe. The internship and opportunity to ask questions were very helpful. The trucks are in excellent condition and well-maintained, and I receive stable payments every month. The company adheres to European driving regulations, work schedules, and rest periods as required. I don't plan to change jobs and recommend it to everyone."

"I want to thank those who write positive reviews. You try so hard that it must feel like a resort at Stebal. I wish you would leave your phone numbers! This company cheated me and my friend, almost no one from our group received their full salary. Everyone is very upset and doesn't plan to deal with these scammers. It's a scam for drivers; there's no training. They’ll throw you to the wolves as soon as you get behind the wheel of a wrecked truck. No documents for working in Europe, and you'll be responsible for any fines, becoming a defenseless worker. They only tell you to drive, drive... they don't care if your time is up or where you're stopping, or if you have food. It's a mafia exploiting free labor. Reputable companies get two-week visas, but these guys recruit slaves for free work. Currently, a 14-day quarantine is required everywhere in Europe, but Stebal immediately puts you on a route! Think about what they're offering! It’s deportation and huge fines. They don't care about y"

"There are no consistent routes; it's a complete scam. I worked there for two months, the first paycheck was 350 crowns for 15 days, the second was 17,000 for 28 days. When I raised concerns, they sidelined me and said I wasn't needed because I asked too many questions. They promised a salary card, but I only received it upon quitting, and even that was a struggle. I had no idea how much I'd earned until then. They never issued the code 95, saying they were processing it for two months, then told me it wasn't necessary. This company is a mess."

"This company is a disaster. Drivers are treated like disposable garbage. The visa process is incredibly slow, with lengthy delays and quarantine periods. Payment is delayed by two months, and there's no recourse for complaints due to ongoing quarantine. Be cautious of deceptive schemes exploiting quarantine measures."

"This is a good company that cares about the quality and working conditions of its drivers. The salary and payment system are positive aspects. They provided a Mercedes-Actros Euro 5 in good condition upon arrival. Stebal has its own service, and you don't have to deal with the truck's maintenance; I can only change a tire if needed. Aside from minor issues that arise during work, I would rate this company 4 out of 5. Thank you."

"This company is a complete scam. They lie about training and certifications, deduct fuel costs, operate with poorly maintained trucks and no maintenance facilities, assign difficult routes with multiple loads and drop-offs, force drivers to violate hours of service regulations, impose fines, and use dilapidated trailers. They falsify mileage records and steal CMR documents. Many trucks are idle, and employees are avoiding this company. It's best to stay away."

"I appreciate the consistent treatment of drivers and the care taken with the equipment. The company seems well-planned and expanding, with new Euro-6 trucks arriving. It's a respectable transportation company where you can learn to drive in the EU and work long-term. I'm satisfied with the work and grateful to the company."

"I wrote not only from my own experience but also the truth, representing all drivers who, through naivety, inexperience, and trust, fell for these scammers. I thought I was writing about failures and drunkards. Today, I looked at websites across Ukraine, and on each site, 2-3 Full Time Stebal recruiters offer work, and these scoundrels are looking for suckers on every site. The company has 200 trucks, but drivers are constantly changing. The entire driver roster is new after just 3 months, which is a circus. Fake reviews claiming the company is good are a bluff – bait in a mousetrap. You need to find legitimate companies, not this circus."

"Thank you to the employees for their honest reviews. I avoided this company because of what I heard. They've been recruiting Ukrainian drivers through a Kyiv staffing agency for six months. It appears the company treats drivers like assembly-line workers, with a constant turnover. Good jobs don't wait half a year. I wish drivers safe travels, and I hope transportation companies don't deceive drivers."

"I had a completely positive experience with this company. The trucks were in good condition, and the pay was satisfactory. Logistics were based in Ukraine, so communication was straightforward. I found the work suitable and didn't notice any critical issues. There were a few minor document-related nuances, but these can be avoided with careful attention. I want to express my gratitude to Stebal and Andriy for their extra help during my work."

"I wish I had read reviews of this company sooner. I trusted a recruiter who seemed legitimate, but arrived to find dozens of drivers abandoned with loaded trucks. The working conditions are unbearable, with deception, insults, and threats. They withhold pay if you work most of the month and then have visa issues or health problems, refusing to pay for those days. Salaries are low, and deductions are frequent and unexplained. Documents are not provided, and drivers are treated like slaves. Always research company reviews before accepting a position; this is a 'whirlpool of deceived drivers'."

"I want to thank all my colleagues and the website owner! The number of job postings I saw was overwhelming, more than companies like Girteka and Hegemann. However, they have fleets of 7,000 to 14,000 trucks, with three or four rows of vehicles in different countries, whereas Stebal only has 200 trucks!"

"Don't work for Stebal. We avoided it as a crew; the atmosphere was clearly negative, and we realized we were lucky to have avoided a bad situation."

"I escaped this company a week ago. I do not recommend working for this awful company. If you're interested, send an SMS with the word 'mocked' and I'll call you back in the evening after work. My number is 0988771498."

"If you want to create problems for yourself, go to STEBAL. It's a headache for you and your family. You'll return home exhausted and in debt. I waited over a year for my last paycheck. I drove for three months without a single reprimand in a truck that was incredibly dirty. I was thanked for it. We were all left short, between $1000 and $2000, and I only earned 750 euros in three months. I do not recommend STEBAL to anyone."

"This is a good company worth considering, especially for those seeking employment. They provide free visas and don't charge for job placement, which is how it should be. Upon arrival, I received a used but functional Mercedes Euro 5 and began my route. Payments were reliable and on time. Communication with the dispatcher was good, and Andrew helped when needed. It's reassuring to have someone to contact. While there's always room for improvement, I'd rate them an 8/10. Thank you."

"This company is a scam! They operate without proper documentation, put drivers in vehicles without licenses, and avoid legal recourse by making drivers responsible for their own actions. Be wary of promises of salary and conditions; it's a deceptive scheme designed to exploit drivers."

"In my opinion, this is the best trucking company I've ever worked for. The work process is well-organized, and I have no complaints. The trucks are new, all Mercedes-Benz (which I personally love). Pay is always reliable, and I've never had a missed payment. The company mainly employs Ukrainian drivers, and when I talk to them, they have a positive opinion and many choose to stay for a second contract – I'm one of them. Thanks to the management for the good work and organization!"

"I'm grateful to the company for the opportunity to work and want to personally thank Andriy, who conducted our training. He explained everything well and even gave his number in case of any issues with the route. This is the kind of approach to work I was looking for and I'm completely satisfied with my choice. I have no complaints about the work itself, so I can confidently recommend it to friends and acquaintances."

"I appreciate that the company fulfills its commitments, including work and obtaining work permits. I waited a while, but they opened a two-year work permit for me for free, avoiding a three-month wait for a new visa. They handle work permits as promised, and it's been verified. There are some concerns about the dispatcher, but my colleague is happy with their dispatcher. The company has many well-maintained trucks, provides uniforms and boots without charge, and offers phones and bonus internet for calls home. Overall, I'm satisfied with the work and the company and plan to work until the work permit expires."

"Colleagues, all the positive reviews are written by company employees. Negative reviews are from drivers who have worked there. Be smarter, don't step on the same rake; it's dangerous. Good luck to everyone."

"People who claim Stebal is the best should consider: if a company with 200 trucks hires 100 drivers monthly, is there a long queue for trucks? The reality is drivers are cheated out of money, won't return, and warn others. Stebal is a fly-by-night operation exploiting drivers like slaves, falsely accusing them of theft and debt. I haven't received my salary in six months, they ignore calls, and my bank card is closed. They even try to lure drivers from Vinnytsia! I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy."

"I worked for this company for seven months. All the positive reviews you read here are lies and do not reflect reality. Trucks are provided in a faulty condition, meaning they only make it to the first load. Repairs are only done for issues they can deduct from the driver's pay. Upon receiving my salary, it turns out I have to give half to the company (for fuel overspending because the truck is faulty, for work clothes they provided 'free of charge'). Fines are fabricated to avoid paying wages. I haven't been paid for the last month I worked. Don't be fooled by this company."

"I completely agree. I worked from July 14th to July 31st, 2020, without any issues, but I was falsely accused of damaging a step and a missing CMR document. They deducted 600 euros, and there's no way to prove otherwise; it's a closed circle. I arrived at the base on Friday, July 31st, 2020, at 5:00 PM, and everyone was gone. On Monday, Andrei said I was fired, and another driver took my truck. Access to management is restricted, Andrei claims he's not involved, and the dispatcher hides. The conclusion is clear: it's a terrible, disorganized company where a decent person can't work."

"This is a decent company! If you're mechanically inclined, there's nothing to worry about. They provide training upon arrival, and you can understand everything if you pay attention. I've noted everything Andrey said at the base and followed up on minor details, thankfully without any major incidents. The trucks are well-maintained and reliable. Overall, I'd give them a solid 'four' based on my experience."

"Working here compared to Russia is a different world. While being based in Russia allows for more frequent visits with family, the low salary of $800 and poor road conditions are exhausting. Positives include a quick and quality training program, circular routes, single driver teams, reliable and timely pay, and a well-coordinated dispatcher. The only downside was adjusting to the trailers, but that wasn't a significant issue. Overall, the impression of the company is positive."

"As an experienced driver in Europe, I can confidently say this is a great company. I've never had any problems in the 18 months I've been with them; I know exactly how much money I'll receive and it always matches, and the truck maintenance is regular. It's very important that I can adjust my shift length, I inform the dispatcher in advance when I need to be replaced, and they create a suitable route for me. My advice for new drivers is to photograph all CMRs and delete them only after receiving your salary - this is our precaution."

"The employee from STEBAL's office seems dishonest. The condition of the vehicles is poor, with missing essential items like tire irons. Many drivers have described similar negative experiences, and it's clear the company is designed to exploit drivers. It's a disaster of a company, and I advise against working here."

"Overall, I've worked here for 2 years and 3 months, and there are both pros and cons, but much is satisfactory. My salary is 43-48 thousand crowns, depending on the direction and dispatcher. The promised salary is paid as agreed. There have been a few deductions over two years, but everything was legal, so I have no complaints. They pay for fuel economy. I plan to continue working here and hope to live here permanently. Thank you to the company."

"This company is a scam. They lured me in with a 3-month visa promise, rushed paperwork, and provided a dilapidated truck and trailer with unsecured cargo. There were no acceptance documents or handover procedures. Management pressured me to take responsibility for problems. Other drivers reported frequent violations, excessive fuel consumption, malfunctioning gauges, broken equipment, and non-functional safety features. Several drivers had been cheated out of wages. This company exploits drivers and engages in fraudulent practices. Avoid at all costs."

"I first arrived at Stebal in the spring of 2019 for a three-month visa, then returned home and obtained a two-year card in Lviv. Due to family matters, I returned home, but those issues have now been resolved, and I've purchased a plane ticket to Prague for October 2nd. I'm looking forward to returning to the Czech Republic, as money is dwindling. The work has been excellent; I transported diapers, tissues, and various household chemicals to Italy, Spain, and occasionally Belgium. I have a good working relationship with logistics manager Natasha; she's a great person and a true professional. My initial truck was a 2017 model. After that assignment, I received a newer truck upon returning to the base. I have no complaints about the trucks. I'm very grateful to Stebal."

"The company pays on time, avoids unnecessary complications, and provides a dedicated logistics contact and vehicle. Having familiar colleagues and understanding local regulations adds to the confidence in the firm's reliability and integrity."

"Experienced company with good pay. They cover visa costs, although road expenses aren't reimbursed. Work hours adhere to EU regulations, and there's no pressure to violate them. Primarily operated in Germany, Belgium, and France. The Mercedes Actros truck is new and in excellent condition. Working here is a pleasure, and I hope to continue having positive experiences and express gratitude to Stebal."

"This company deceives drivers with unreliable pay, charges them for everything, provides poorly maintained vehicles, and misrepresents earnings. They withhold pay, manipulate mileage records, and create false documentation to avoid responsibility for fines and delays. Tools are missing, repairs are at the driver's expense, and rest hour regulations are consistently violated. The company's logistics management is unresponsive and shifts blame onto drivers. Cargo manifest discrepancies lead to further financial losses. This is a deceptive scheme."

"I'm receiving threats from the company owner, FullTaim, after my post about working there. Apparently, I'm damaging the company's reputation by speaking the truth. Phone calls confirm that the owner, based in Vinnytsia, is involved in a criminal scheme with Czech fraudsters related to Stebal. A group of drivers affected by Stebal's fraudulent schemes has formed after my post included a phone number. We will continue to share information on all platforms to warn people about these scammers."

"I respect you, but Stebal and FuilTaim are scammers. I contacted you about unpaid wages from Stebal and was met with accusations and insults instead of help. Drivers need information about employers. I worked flawlessly for Stebal but only received two out of three months' pay. The first was 3400 crowns, the second 22300 crowns, and the third never arrived. I left on February 29th, and the payment was due on March 20th. It hasn't arrived, and no one answers the phone. My bank is showing debts, and I'll have problems entering the Czech Republic."

"I worked for this company and don't have any serious complaints. There are some aspects I'm not completely satisfied with, but overall, the company is at a high level. I appreciate the management and especially Mr. Miglu for their help, as it should be in civilized countries; employment and visa processing are handled by the company. The Mercedes Euro 6 trucks are in good condition and well-maintained. The work schedule complies with EU law, which is a significant plus. I wouldn't work for a company that violates European laws. I would advise management to carefully select dispatchers, as some can be publicly embarrassed by their behavior. I've made my decisions and will continue working with the company for now. Thank you, and have a good day."

"Be cautious when choosing this company. They aggressively recruit drivers, making misleading promises. They're exploiting drivers for profit, and it's safer to work from home. Be wary of companies with few or many negative reviews."

"I completely agree. It's obvious why 'Taras' is writing this. He played me, shorted me by a full salary and a half. Two months lost, nerves shattered."

"I've worked here, I'm working here, and I'll continue to work here. I've read many negative reviews about Stebal, but I know many drivers who have worked here before and are satisfied. In my opinion, it's a good company where you can stay for a long time without worrying about salary or unjustified fines. I consider the salary to be high; I've never earned less than 45,000 UAH. There's nothing to say about the trucks, as they are new and fully serviced by the company. I give the company a solid five-star rating. Thank you for the opportunity and wish the company only success and development."

"This driver experienced significant issues with Stebal and FUIL TAIM. They report unpaid wages, discrepancies in pay calculations, false deductions for training and expenses they didn't incur, and a general lack of respect. The company is accused of misleading drivers and blocking those who speak out. The driver mentions that the company values drivers but their actions contradict this. They also describe a pattern of deception affecting dozens of drivers monthly."

"This company is a scam. We just returned from Stebal and would not recommend it. They didn't do 95 codes, the Tahoe is black, there were excessive hours and driving violations due to the dispatcher's arrogance and incompetence, and loads were packed in within 30 minutes. Routes lacked parking, trucks drove past signs, there were no 24/45 compensations, diet pay varied wildly (5-35 euros), CMR records are stolen, trucks aren't maintained. Driving a three-month-old truck risks your health and money – you'll be exploited and discarded. Paychecks are often delayed or missing, with previous payments varying wildly (6,400 to 21,800 crowns) with no explanation. The manager is evasive, and everyone else is 'busy.' The accountant's explanation was vague. Experienced drivers quit within a week. Avoid this company."

"I believe all Ukrainian and Russian dispatchers should be removed, along with the entire management team. It would be better to replace them with Czechs; working with Czechs is preferable."

"The company cheated me out of $1500, and there were serious reasons for it. It's interesting that they are now making promises to drivers who just started working."

"I've been working for Stebale for two years and can't say the conditions are bad. The company has significant advantages that keep me here. With over six years of experience driving in Europe, I know the intricacies of the profession and can earn well – I've never made less than €2000. New drivers sometimes make mistakes, which the company often handles, and they might receive a fine for major errors. However, if you were in the company's shoes, you'd likely do the same. Some people only understand after being fined €100-€200. Management is reasonable and the hiring process is fair, unlike companies that demand unrealistic experience and age requirements. I've brought many colleagues here because the conditions are easier and the pay is the same. Pay isn't dependent on how long you've been with the company. Experienced drivers get bonuses like requesting specific routes or newer trucks. After obtaining my two-year card, my schedule improved to two months on, one month off. The wait for"

"This review questions the authenticity of a previous review, suggesting it was fabricated from an office and not a driver's genuine experience. The reviewer claims to have had a negative experience with the company and does not recommend it."

"This review is nonsensical and contains offensive language, making it impossible to extract meaningful information about the company. It appears to be a personal attack rather than a legitimate review."

"This company is deceptive and known for exploiting drivers. They lure drivers with promises of good work but are involved in shady dealings. Be cautious of them. Another company, 'Full Time,' recruits drivers from the CIS countries and treats them like slaves. They are a mafia-like organization."

"This company left a positive impression. Stebal is a good option for work in Europe. They don't hire everyone; drivers with unofficial work history in Ukraine may be asked to complete a test drive. Documents are legal and compliant, with adherence to work and rest regulations. The dispatcher is professional and helpful. Pay is consistently delivered on time and significantly higher than previous earnings. The driver intends to continue working for the company."

"I started at the company with no experience in Europe, previously working in the Kherson region and Russia. I completed two assignments, 3 and 6 months each. Obtaining the two-year card was straightforward, taking 60 days. There was one deduction, which was my fault due to a miscalculation of pallets. I received my pay on time without any delays. I've referred two friends who are also satisfied with their experience. Working in Europe is different from working at home, requiring adaptation and learning new procedures like chip usage and proper documentation. Building rapport with the dispatcher and overcoming the language barrier are also important. With a little effort, everyone can succeed."

"The company isn't bad, with always room for improvement. I worked for three months and recently applied for a two-year visa. My pay was 37,000, 48,000, and 47,000 for each month respectively. The trucks are good, new, with all necessary equipment in the cab, a working phone, clothing, navigation, and tires provided. My dispatcher, Nadya, is a fantastic colleague; she always prepared good routes and provided constant feedback. I had long runs to Spain, which suited me well as I dislike frequent home time. I'll be returning to work again in early February."

"Overall, the company is good and a significant improvement over previous experiences. The driver earns a stable €2000 and appreciates the company's investment in new trucks and growth. They provide consistent loads within the EU, with paid parking for rest stops. The fleet includes modern, comfortable trucks and communication is easy thanks to Russian-speaking staff. The driver highly recommends the company."

"Hello colleagues. I've been working at Stebale for three years, and things are consistently improving. I received my two-year visa in just over a month, which is faster than ever before. I can now work as much as I want without returning home. I came without experience in Europe, and if you're looking to gain experience, I highly recommend it. The logistics professionals are excellent. If you're experienced and want to earn money, don't expect huge salaries just for experience; demonstrate your skills and earn a clean 2200 euros. I've never seen such good treatment of Ukrainians anywhere else. A huge thank you to Mr. Yan Miglu for his understanding and respectful treatment of drivers."

"I believe Stebal is a good place to work, ideal for beginners in Europe. I was one myself, and everything was explained in detail over the phone before I started. The routes aren't difficult, it's just a matter of getting used to them. They always paid my salary on time during my employment. There was a service deduction that I had to dispute, and they refunded the money after I fought for it. I have no complaints about the trucks; they are new. Overall, I am satisfied and thank the company."

"This company is best suited for drivers with little to no experience. Success depends heavily on the dispatcher and assigned routes; pay varies significantly depending on location (expect €45/day in Germany vs. €30,000-€35,000 for a month in Czechia/Slovakia). Kilometrage is difficult to achieve, and drivers are often forced onto national roads and away from French highways, resulting in challenging routes with narrow roads and limited services. The company treats drivers as expendable, with late paychecks (1-3 days), and questionable service practices like charging drivers for repairs. While they don't always force violations of driving hours, it can happen even to experienced drivers. It's comparable to other companies like Girteka, Hegelmans, and Finejas, and while not terrible, there's not much positive to say."

"I'm happy with my work at Stebal. I don't understand the negative reviews. I regularly speak with colleagues and have never heard similar complaints from real people. Sometimes misunderstandings occur, or people aren't prepared for international work. I've worked here for over a year and haven't experienced the issues mentioned in some reviews. Managers provided contact numbers of current employees, which helped me decide to work abroad. The income has allowed me to help my children with home repairs."

"Valeriy Dubovyk from Dnipro expresses immense gratitude for Stebal. He was impressed with the detailed interview process and timely document preparation, allowing him to work in Europe for three years. He praises the company's equipment, logistics, routes, and salary, rating them highly. He frequently recommends Stebal to colleagues and provides contact information for those interested in joining."

"Be cautious. Do not call or work for this company. They have deceived many people and are now attempting to contact them."

"I've worked at Stebal for several terms and always received my salary on time, as many other drivers have confirmed. The company treats drivers well, and a significant advantage is that the dispatchers speak Russian. The trucks are all Mercedes and new, and the company has its own service center, so you don't need to worry about maintenance – they'll take care of it for you, just submit requests in advance. Overall, it's a positive and profitable place to work."

"Colleagues considering work in the Czech Republic at this company, be aware that things aren't as rosy as they seem. Positive reviews are just marketing. I encountered a truck with over a million kilometers in Germany recently, and there are many like it. While better than very old trucks, don't believe the fairy tales. This company is a carousel and a scam. It's better to hear a bitter truth than a sweet lie."

"So far, I don't have anything negative to say about the company. My stint went well, I received my pay on time, there were no fabricated fines, and the routes were good. I can't really find anything to complain about, and I hope this isn't just a one-time occurrence. I've talked to other drivers and they don't seem to have any major criticisms. I liked the way they treat the trucks; it’s their own service and almost the entire fleet is new."

"In my opinion, this is a very responsible company with decent pay. We've been working here with a partner for two years and are satisfied with both the work and the company as a whole."

"This job is stressful with long distances and unfamiliar areas, so expect challenges. While driver error can lead to issues and fines, the work isn't terrible – it's a job that requires effort. Documentation and conditions are acceptable, and a problematic initial logistics contact was replaced. Pay is stable, with funds received consistently. While not perfect, the experience is manageable, and the driver is satisfied, prioritizing earning money over leisure."

"The company is average, not spectacular, but workable. However, the last salary payment hasn't been made, and communication is terrible – no one seems to know anything or provide helpful answers. It's been a month of unanswered calls, so I don't recommend it."

"I haven't received my last paycheck (February 2021). No one is providing explanations, and they are ignoring me. I request someone from the company to provide a proper response. I do not recommend this company."

"I wanted to forget this company, but former colleagues asked me to leave a review. The work organization was poor; drivers are always blamed, even when it's the dispatcher's fault. I consistently corrected my logistics coordinator's mistakes while performing my duties perfectly. I didn't receive 29,000 krona after completing my route, supposedly due to missing bills of lading (I provided photos immediately, which I still have). I couldn't prove I sent the documents, as I wasn't able to access the base during my assignment. After four months of trying to get justice, including contacting the agency director, I was told to come to the office to collect the money, which wasn't transferred to my card. I am not the only one with this experience. The company received freight money even without the bills of lading. Many other issues exist, but I won't detail them. The company is hiring anyone they can find because there are more drivers than they can handle. New drivers are constantly filling"
