"Avoid this company if you want to earn a decent living. The manager is exploitative and prioritizes his own vehicle upgrades over driver well-being. They constantly find reasons to deduct pay, regardless of the load weight. Winter brings a minimal increase for webasto heating, so be prepared for cold conditions!"

"This company is awful. They diverted me to their base, claimed excessive engine wear and abruptly terminated my contract, withholding fuel costs. Later, technical staff revealed a vehicle malfunction, but there were no apologies or compensation (over $1000 USD). Vacation time is unattainable; they expect drivers to work two days of rest per month and immediately return to the road. Avoid this company at all costs, particularly dealing with someone named Valeriya. They exploit drivers for every possible hour. Good luck to everyone."

"The company hires anyone, even those with limited experience. They deduct from fuel payments, set minimal norms, and overload trucks. Economy bonuses are not provided, and logistics personnel make mistakes, blaming the drivers. Some drivers have lost money returning home, and there's a lack of accountability; drivers feel unheard. However, some people enjoy working there."

"Drivers are kept at the base for 2-4 weeks before assignments, with conditions worse than those in homeless shelters - they sleep on chairs and there's no kitchen. Many trucks are sent out with worn brake pads, non-functional air conditioning, and in one case, a faulty Webasto heater. Dispatchers pressure drivers to work around the clock, sometimes sleeping only an hour a day. Finally, half of the promised salary was withheld. Avoid this company at all costs."

"I worked at the company for a year, from vans to tractor-trailers. Fuel consumption standards exist; they're manageable for vans and Sprinters, but harsh for tractor-trailers (26.5 liters). Overages are deducted. There were thefts; 600 liters of diesel were stolen from a German truck, and nothing was deducted. Logistics managers are Polish, dispatchers are Russian (you usually communicate with them). Some are good, others are idiots. The trucks are generally in good condition, with the oldest from 2018 and many new ones. Damages are deducted, but the deductions aren't fabricated. Pay is on time: advance on the 10th, settlement on the 29th. They pay very little for driving in Poland. It's a decent company for beginners – it’s not overly difficult and you can earn a little, but experienced drivers won’t find much here."

"Worked here for two years, transitioning from a single trailer to a tandem. The company is run like a chaotic factory, and very few Polish drivers work here or would choose to. I left, like many others, due to consistently delayed paychecks, initially a few weeks, now extending to months. The excuses are always fabricated, ranging from bank issues to payment failures and fabricated claims about deductions."
