Balkan Euro Tir, a Polish-based trucking company, has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from drivers regarding payment reliability and management practices. Multiple drivers report severe wage delays and non-payment of salaries, with one account describing 15 drivers going unpaid for three months in November 2018. The company appears to be in financial decline, with reports indicating operational capacity reduced from 30+ trucks to approximately 9 active vehicles due to driver departures. A minority of drivers report more positive experiences, stating that payment issues were eventually resolved and management is responsive to concerns. However, these positive accounts are vastly outnumbered by complaints about delayed advances (reported as €50 for three weeks), poor office management relations, and general financial instability. Some drivers mention the work itself is manageable if following dispatcher instructions, but employment conditions appear significantly deteriorated. The company's reputation among the driver community appears severely damaged, with ongoing comparisons to competitors like Girteka. Current operational status suggests the company may be struggling to maintain viability in the European trucking market.
