Kreiss is a Latvian trucking company with highly polarized driver feedback. The majority of reviews (10 out of 12) are extremely negative, citing widespread exploitation and deteriorating working conditions. Drivers report that HR personnel misrepresent salary and working conditions during recruitment, promising 80-85 EUR daily but delivering only 50-65 EUR after deductions. The workforce is predominantly migrant laborers (Tajik, Uzbek, Indian drivers) who rarely stay longer than 1-3 months due to poor compensation. Major complaints include mandatory personal equipment purchases (tablets, fuel measuring devices, clothing, boots), excessive fuel and cost deductions, and unpaid or severely underpaid company transportation (4-day shuttle costing only 20 EUR instead of standard 80 EUR). Management is described as unaccountable, with drivers bearing blame for all issues. However, two contrasting positive reviews suggest the company was previously decent and may still suit entry-level drivers willing to accept lower wages, though recent years show significant organizational decline.
