Alblas Transport Sp. z o.o

Alblas Transport is a Dutch trucking company with approximately 300 tractors, managed by elderly ownership focused on cost minimization. Driver experiences reveal significant operational challenges. The company offers a base salary of 1,800 PLN plus meal allowances (21 EUR in Poland, 25 EUR in Western Europe), though additional payments are reportedly unreliable and delayed (2+ months). The fleet primarily consists of aging vehicles (8-10+ years old) with high mileage (approaching 1 million km), many lacking refrigeration units. Maintenance issues are common: engines leak oil requiring weekly top-ups, analog tachographs permit excessive working hours, and equipment malfunctions regularly occur. Trailers are purchased secondhand and retrofitted with ABS/AEBS modules that malfunction frequently. Safety concerns include vehicle instability in winter conditions and brake system failures. Working conditions involve long hours with inadequate rest and poor cab comfort. One positive note mentions efficient recruitment processes. Overall, drivers characterize the company as prioritizing cost-cutting over driver welfare and equipment maintenance.
