Kawczyński Logistics

Kawczyński Logistics operates on long-haul routes to Spain, Greece, Romania, and Bulgaria, but drivers report consistently poor working conditions and payment practices. The company advertises daily rates of 420 PLN but typically pays 390 PLN or less, with additional deductions. A critical issue involves seasonal hiring of drivers from Ukraine and Belarus on 3-month contracts before holidays, followed by immediate termination when Polish drivers return. Major complaints include unpaid second driver shifts (45-hour blocks), monthly payments calculated for only 28 days, and night driving compensation incorporated into base contracts rather than paid separately. Working conditions are demanding: approximately 90% night driving with multiple load changes, pallet work, and reported pressure to violate tachograph regulations and hide from authorities. Contracts use vague language, with verbal promises not honored in writing. One positive review mentions the company helps refugees and has decent management, but this is vastly outweighed by systematic exploitation complaints and transparent patterns of worker mistreatment.
