Katrans Logistics drivers report systematic exploitation and wage fraud. The company demands drivers violate rest and safety regulations, requiring continuous driving without breaks for meals, sleep, or personal hygiene. Standby time at the base (45 minutes) goes unpaid. Critical wage fraud occurs: drivers are promised daily rates (e.g., 500/day) but are instead paid by kilometer, resulting in approximately 50% underpayment. Salaries arrive a month late. Fuel card systems are frequently blocked, forcing inefficient detours to alternative gas stations with no time compensation. The vehicle fleet consists of old, poorly maintained trucks that fail mid-route, creating serious safety hazards. Drivers describe management as unresponsive to violations, equipment failures, and payment discrepancies, with no support system.
