Kareda

Kareda is a Lithuanian trucking company with overwhelmingly negative driver experiences. The most critical issues revolve around payment reliability, with drivers reporting significant delays in salary and advance payments. One driver waited over 3 months through labor dispute resolution to recover unpaid wages, while another described advances as something you must "beg" the owner for with no guarantee. Vehicle condition is severely problematic: trucks are poorly maintained with non-functional air brakes, leaking cabin cushions, fuel consumption issues (described as "burning fuel by the bucket"), and mechanical failures including loss of power on inclines. Drivers report responsibility for repairs at their own expense. Working conditions include extended contract durations (6 months instead of agreed 2 months), short routes, unclear salary calculations, and poor dispatcher communication. One positive review mentions a driver who worked nearly a year without complaints, suggesting the company may treat some drivers adequately. However, the company faces 14 active lawsuits, indicating systemic labor violations. Management demonstrates poor communication and questionable legal compliance, including employing drivers with expired residency permits.
