CB Trade presents a highly problematic employment situation according to driver feedback. The most critical issue is chronic payment delays and withholding of wages. Multiple drivers report that payment is promised but repeatedly delayed, with workers forced to repeatedly request their own earnings from management. Drivers describe being sent on shifts and told payment will arrive the following week, only to face further delays and incomplete payments. Beyond compensation issues, working conditions are concerning: shifts reportedly exceed 24 hours, there is pressure to work illegally ("black" employment), and staff turnover is extremely high with drivers not staying long-term. The company does provide housing for drivers and transportation for shopping, but these benefits do not offset the fundamental wage and management reliability problems. One driver reported positive recent experience with timely 1800€ monthly payments, suggesting possible improvements, though other experienced drivers dispute this claim as exceptional rather than standard practice.
