INTERTRANS is a Polish trucking company providing free 3-week driver training and serving Eastern European and Scandinavian routes. Positive reviews highlight fair management, patient treatment of beginners, honest damage assessment, and competitive daily rates (€50-63). However, critical concerns emerge from multiple drivers reporting severe wage withholding, with one driver noting 4 years of unpaid final settlement and describing this as a widespread problem affecting many departing employees. Additional complaints include unfair damage deductions charged despite insurance coverage, poor responsiveness to wage inquiries, and apparent age discrimination against drivers over 50. The company responds to criticism by emphasizing driver responsibility for fines and wage transparency, but drivers counter that deductions occur for insurable incidents. Recent positive developments include refunding purchase deductions and transitioning to daily-rate compensation. The significant wage payment issues substantially undermine otherwise positive feedback about management and training quality.
