"I worked at Fertranse for a year. I confirm a colleague's comment. They started hiring drivers from Asia. Bonuses stopped being paid. There are constant arguments with dispatcher Jana. They force drivers to violate work and rest schedules."

"Workers hired by this company operate in Italy under Fertrans Italia, not to be confused with the Polish equivalent. You won't be working in Slovakia. The cost of document processing through a Slovakian company is high, around €1000 (residence permit application, Slovak notary, 95 code short course, medical exam, document translation, apostille, travel to Slovakia, accommodation). Processing time is 2 months, plus mandatory trips to Slovakia for document submission and medical exams. A cheaper and faster alternative via Lithuania, under the company Akanta, offers better conditions, such as covering travel to the base in Italy (€100 one-way). Monthly expenses in Slovakia include €50 for residency, €20-25 for phone bills."
