"The onboarding process is grueling and exhausting, with significant delays. Pay is inconsistent and often manipulated with deceptive practices like rerouting for damage risks and diesel theft. Drivers are pressured to falsify documents and face arbitrary deductions. The workload is excessive with frequent short hauls and unpredictable schedules. Trucks are often poorly maintained and require extensive inspection. Service is reluctant, and pay is significantly delayed. There's constant pressure to violate regulations, and basic amenities are scarce. The company prioritizes speed over driver well-being, leading to high turnover."

"After two years, I left the company. It's workable, but expect deception from everyone, including accounting and management. A positive is the managers' decent attitude towards drivers. You'll be taken advantage of if you don't fight for your pay, conditions, and routes. No penalties if you work correctly, but expect provocations. Salary is advertised as 90, but realistically it's 85. They may ask you to resign for just two mistakes. Be prepared to be exploited for financial gain."

"I worked at this company for just over a year. The people's moral character is extremely low; they lack decency and empathy. It's impossible to trust anything they say. They may sing sweet songs, but act inhumanely. I was tricked into signing a document for over €5000 for trailer damage. When I refused, I was given termination papers without pay. I reluctantly signed them in exchange for a promise to spread the payment over two years! The amount then increased from €5000 to €5500. When I refused to sign a paper for a €150 fine, I was still fired without pay. Now they have my signed document for €5500, and I have little chance of recovering my money. Think carefully before working with these people, and don't sign anything if you already do!"

"The company isn't bad, but they eliminated team driving. It's workable for solo drivers, but you must be diligent. Keep track of your movements to avoid penalties (fake accidents, traffic violations, pauses exceeding 9 hours, despite having your legal 11 hours according to regulations). Management varies in quality; they prioritize minimizing payments to maximize their commission. Be vigilant! They're hiring drivers from Asia who have limited Russian language skills. Their truck maintenance is poor. Rates start at €80. Given market conditions, rates will likely decrease further. New hires from Asia will damage their reputation, leading to potential fines and legal issues, similar to what other companies have faced."

"Do not believe anyone. This company is like all the others in Lithuania. They deduct 200% for the smallest mistake. I had a minor dent in the tank, and they deducted the cost of a replacement tank. This is my fourth company in Lithuania, and it's the same everywhere. Laws are written to make it easy to exploit people. We are helpless here."

"The company isn't bad, but it heavily depends on the managers. Sometimes, they treat drivers poorly and disrespectfully, even when they're wrong. It's important to understand the job well, as there's a risk of being misled or put into a negative financial situation. When a medical emergency (stroke) occurred in Spain, the driver was transported back to their home country via bus, a rather impersonal experience. Despite providing medical documentation to the company, they received limited support or guidance and were ultimately pressured to resign. The company documented the termination as voluntary without cause, despite having photographic evidence of the medical situation. After five years of employment and a period of recovery, the company contacted the driver about returning to work, highlighting a lack of ongoing support."

"This is a decent company; if you do your job correctly, deductions are avoided. The management is a mixed bag, but I've been working here for three years and everything is excellent. Payments are reliable and on time, which is very important."

"I worked here for three years and nothing was ever deducted except for my own traffic violations. I encountered different managers, and some were difficult to work with. Overall, it was okay. I returned home for vacation in late spring and ended up in the hospital for six weeks. I immediately informed the manager and warned them I was in the hospital. We agreed that I would provide sick leave documents upon my return. However, upon discharge, I received an electronic copy of an order of dismissal for absenteeism. No one offered any explanation."

"Worked for TransTire for 6 years, constantly disputing unfair deductions and struggling to receive earned money. Experienced significant stress and financial loss, including a 300 euro deduction during an illness."

"I have nothing bad to say about this company. I worked for Transtir for 3 years and not a single penny was deducted. There are good and bad managers, but more good ones, it's a normal, average company to work for."

"This company is terrible and should be avoided. We were paid a substantial amount for our services, but are unable to unload our goods from the warehouse because they claim they 'don't see the payment,' resulting in storage fees. Neither the accounting department nor the manager is willing to resolve the issue; everything is done reluctantly, and responses to questions are infrequent or nonexistent. I've never encountered such incompetence."

"They hire anyone, which is both a pro and a con. There aren't enough trucks for the number of drivers, so you may have to wait weeks for a dispatch, even after being assigned a job. Living expenses and travel costs are problematic. It's okay for getting started."

"This company is a complete disaster, a blatant scam similar to Girteka and Vlantana. Loading and unloading occur in extremely remote locations, offering a constant sense of danger. Expect your pay to barely cover your return ticket!"
