"The company seems to have fabricated positive reviews from their office. New drivers are reportedly forced to work without proper documentation."

"This company is a complete scam. They pressure drivers to violate regulations and then penalize them, refusing responsibility. They create false documents. There's substantial proof, and a legal complaint has been filed against Veslav Rebristov in CzΔ™stochowa, who is deceiving drivers. Anyone who obtained a code 95 certification in CzΔ™stochowa with Tomasz should investigate, as forgeries are occurring. Rebristov faces a real prison sentence for falsifying documents, with video evidence and other proof that he takes money under the table and promises everything will be okay. Videos exposing the fraudulent documents and the company's deceptive practices are coming soon."

"I'm writing this not out of anger, but because no one else has been caught by this company. They are fraudulent. There are many complaints, and a criminal case has been opened regarding the creation of false documents against Vescheслав Rebrisky and Valentin Krestov. There's also a criminal case against the driving school in CzΔ™stochowa. Be warned: they will likely be shut down by the end of August, and many people will be left without pay."

"Xelena is a terrible company. They frequently fail to pay drivers, with payouts often delayed by months. Advances of just 50 euros are requested, and the dispatchers are incompetent and rude, ignoring calls and failing to cover road expenses. Trucks are poorly maintained, with old tires and overdue maintenance. Drivers are forced to operate unsafe vehicles. Many drivers have been deceived and have left the company. Avoid this company at all costs."

"Company Xelena is terrible. They don't pay drivers, and treat them poorly. Management treats drivers like animals. I hope the Kreto family experiences the same suffering they inflict on drivers and their families. Be wary of anyone named Maryana claiming to be HR; they're lying about the company's conditions and pay. Avoid Xelena Czestahowa; they are thieves and mistreat drivers."

"Worked for over three months, constantly pushed to violate regulations, with promises of payment if issues arose. Advances were initially 50 euros, then 100 euros for the entire period. A friend was abruptly abandoned without pay for refusing to drive in violation of regulations and without proper documentation. I was unexpectedly terminated and removed from a truck with no explanation, and ultimately, I was not paid for my work. They later claimed I owed them money for fines, refusing to provide details. Avoid this company."

"The company became unresponsive and failed to pay the last month's salary after I voiced my concerns. They operate with disregard for regulations, and drivers are terminated without warning, resulting in withheld pay. Management acts arrogantly. Be wary of their promises, especially those from Maryana in Czestochowa; it's all a facade."

"I would recommend Xelena to anyone interested in a driver position. I worked there for almost five months; as with any job, there's work to be done. Initially, I drove a Mercedes, then they gave me a new MAN. The work environment was reasonable, the dispatchers spoke Russian, and I had no significant complaints about them. I requested an advance payment initially, and they provided it without issues. They pay on time and there are no fines. I notified them of my departure two weeks in advance, and they provided a replacement driver, transported me to the train station, and helped me buy a ticket. I arrived home and my last paycheck arrived on time."

"This is a decent company to work for, especially for beginners who may lack experience. They offer training and provide advances on pay, which are always paid on time. The trucks are almost new, and the dispatchers are Russian. I worked there for 4.5 months without any issues and received all my payments. It's a good starting point for new drivers."

"Avoid Xelena in Poland. The management, primarily Russian, is terrible and doesn't pay salaries. Drivers work for months, receiving only 200 euros for travel expenses, which are often not delivered. The company lures inexperienced drivers with promises of training and assistance with paperwork, which turns out to be false. Documents are handled at the drivers' expense, and training periods can last for months. Experienced drivers are forced to work excessive hours for minimal pay. Promises of better equipment are frequently broken. Positive reviews are likely fabricated by the company to hide the truth."

"I've finished my work at Xelene and want to warn everyone. People are leaving in droves – I don't know what they're being lured here with. Don't be fooled by their promises and recruitment ads. I've never seen such a high turnover rate anywhere. Within my three months, almost one in three drivers was cheated out of money! Don't believe they deduct money from those who make mistakes; that's how they justify it to newcomers. They should deduct 50 euros, but they took 350! It's impossible to get results. It's all a scam. If a driver makes even a minor mistake, they'll steal another 400-500 euros and you can't prove anything. They cheated half the drivers – I personally spoke with people in Czestochowa. Instead of the promised money, drivers received 600-700 euros. Valentin lies without shame. And what they do with CMR documents is outrageous – they claim you didn't provide them so they can deduct money for mistakes, even though I handed them over personally. Nothing can be proven. Everyth"

"Having worked at Xelena for over three months, my first experience abroad, I found the company to be positive overall. The recruiter, Vyacheslav, was helpful and transparent about employment and pay. They organized training, including a short 95 code course, and provided accommodation. I spent nearly three weeks as a trainee, then transitioned to independent work, driving across Europe and experiencing things I'd only dreamed of. While there were occasional mistakes due to inexperience, the company was understanding and supportive. Payments were reliable, with advances available and salaries paid on time. Trucks were in good condition (2017-2018 models). It's a good option, especially for beginners."

"This company is poorly managed and unreliable. Promises of 1600 euros per month are false; drivers often receive closer to 1000 euros after deductions, with some not receiving pay at all. Trucks are in terrible condition and unrepaired, leading to breakdowns. Drivers work off-the-books, with minimal rest time and potential legal risks due to manipulated tachographs. The 'training' period is longer than stated and pays very little. High turnover is a major warning sign."

"Xelena was my first trucking company. I trained, then moved to a Mercedes. They taught me well, and I worked for three and a half months without any issues. I received my advance and salary payments consistently. The dispatchers are Russian-speaking, and the team is friendly. I'm happy I started with a good company. I'm looking forward to returning, as they promised a salary increase and a new vehicle. I recommend it, especially for new drivers."

"This company's recruitment process is problematic. While one recruiter, Vyacheslav, is reliable, others are inexperienced and make poor routing decisions, prioritizing rural roads over highways. One employee, Valentin, has a history of fraudulent activity and disregards safety regulations, allowing drivers to operate without proper certifications and potentially risking deportation. Truck quality is not mentioned."

Many drivers have been with the company for years, demonstrating some stability.

"I'm from Belarus, I also worked with my brother at this company; he's currently working in the voivodeship, and I'm waiting for my assignment there. I'll say one thing: not everything written here by disgruntled people about this company is true. Those who claim they weren't paid or were scammed don't always tell the whole story. They remain silent about their own mistakes while working for the company – driving to the wrong places, stealing diesel, damaging vehicles, being drunk, and so on. They don't mention being unable to deliver cargo on time due to intoxication."

"Drivers report significant financial issues, with unpaid wages and deceptive practices to collect money from new recruits. Drivers are often exploited and work 'off the books,' with disabled tachographs. Dispatchers provide false assurances about police encounters. Serious accidents could lead to imprisonment and deportation. The company is part of a group including Kian, Pantera Express, Volk, Voron, and Riana. Many positive reviews are suspected to be fake. Drivers experienced only partial payment after 5 months of work."

Only those who want to and know how to work can thrive here. Everything else is just noise. Everyone I know who has worked here has received their money and wants to continue working. Those who want to learn how to be a real trucker should also work for Xelena."

"This is a decent company; I'm working here for the second time. I initially earned $1500, now it's $1600, and they say it will be $1700 next time, though I'm skeptical. The people are reasonable, and the trucks are new. Other companies might pay more, but I'm happy here. The only downside is they don't do 45-minute breaks on weekends, but the company pays any fines if you get stopped."

"This company receives only fake positive reviews, likely not written by actual drivers. After three months, there were no positive aspects. Management treats drivers poorly, like slaves. Delivery locations are illogical and the roads are terrible, unsuitable even for cars, let alone trucks. When problems arise, the company ignores drivers. Drivers are pushed to work excessively without rest. Pay is delayed, with unjustified deductions from each paycheck. Fabricated errors are used to penalize drivers. This company is not suitable for work in Europe."

"Worked for this company for 3 months, previously at Voron. It's a mid-level company with some issues, but they're working to improve them. There's no deadhead driving, and hours of service aren't always followed. All payments were made, they helped with paperwork, and provided a bonus per mile."

"This company, Xelena, initially fulfilled its contractual obligations, but after expanding its fleet, it began violating agreements. Issues included work/rest hour violations, tampering with tachographs (potentially illegal operation), extended training periods, late pay, forced driving without proper certification (driver pays), and ultimately, complete failure to pay wages. The company is accused of exploiting drivers. Legal consultation is available on Facebook."

"This channel owner promotes unnecessary devices and spreads misinformation about Xelena trucking. Their trucks are relatively new and well-maintained. Drivers aren't forced to drive during 'off-clock' periods, and they have the right to refuse such requests. Claims about fraudulent 95 codes and issues with Lithuanian/Polish codes are false. The reviewer considers the video a fabrication."
