OSTASZEWSKI TRANSPORT is a Polish trucking company with exclusively negative driver feedback. The company positions itself as an entry point for new drivers, offering 2-week training at half salary before assignment to kilometer-based compensation routes. Drivers report a fleet of severely outdated vehicles (Euro 5 trucks, 10-14 years old) with non-functional equipment including broken air conditioning, faulty ABS sensors, and deteriorated tires and batteries. Payment structure is problematic: base salary ~1750 zloty plus per-kilometer pay, but drivers consistently report monthly earnings capped around 6,500 zloty despite 8-10k km potential. Payment reliability is critically compromised, with multiple drivers reporting wage theft on dismissal where management fabricates fuel overconsumption claims to avoid final wage payments. Management displays systematic discrimination against non-Polish drivers through selective vehicle assignment (new Renault T trucks reserved for Polish employees only) and kilometer allocation restrictions. Working conditions are poor, featuring unpaved muddy parking facilities and mandatory hostel deductions even when employees don't use accommodation.
