Kreiss is a Latvian trucking company with predominantly negative driver feedback. The primary complaint involves significant wage deception: the company advertises daily earnings of 80-85 euros but drivers report actual take-home pay of 50-65 euros after substantial deductions for fuel, tools, and personal equipment (tablets, measuring devices, uniforms, boots). Driver retention is extremely poor, with most employees lasting only 1-3 months. The workforce is primarily immigrant workers from Central Asia, suggesting exploitation of vulnerable labor. Long-distance transfers offer minimal compensation (20 euros for 4-day trips instead of standard 80 euros). The company has deteriorated noticeably over the past two years, with experienced personnel departing and management becoming less competent. One long-term driver (5 years tenure) provided a contrasting account, describing the company as historically suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers with good earning potential.

Accepts beginner and inexperienced truck drivers
