De Rooy

De Rooy, a Netherlands-based trucking company, receives overwhelmingly negative reviews from its driver workforce, with only one 2/5 rating among seven assessments. Drivers consistently report severe exploitation and unsafe working conditions. Daily compensation averages €70-85 (approximately €1,400-1,700 monthly), which drivers claim is inadequate for the physically demanding labor required. A particularly troubling pattern emerges regarding management practices: drivers report being coerced into signing agreements allowing €200-300 monthly deductions for alleged fuel overconsumption, with termination and wage withholding used as coercion against those refusing. Systematic discrimination is documented, with Dutch drivers reportedly earning twice the wage and receiving newer, better-maintained vehicles compared to foreign workers. Vehicle quality is described as consistently poor—broken equipment, dirty cabs, and inadequate maintenance. Working conditions involve overloaded cargo, oversized loads, and excessive hours. Workers who stayed multiple years (2-5+) cite lack of alternatives rather than satisfaction. The company's practices—arbitrary deductions, wage theft threats, and equipment discrimination based on nationality—suggest systematic exploitation.
