PAL-TRANS-SPED has received consistently negative feedback from drivers across multiple reviews. The company primarily operates domestic German routes (cabotage), which limits earning potential for international drivers. Drivers report serious concerns about vehicle quality, describing trucks as worn-out and poorly maintained. Management communication appears problematic, with drivers characterizing supervisors as unpredictable and difficult to work with. Working conditions are described as challenging, with drivers claiming inadequate time planning for daily and weekly schedules, persistent time shortages, and unreliable payment practices. A major grievance involves improper documentation ('pink papers' referenced as fraudulent), unpaid loading and unloading work, and lack of formal invitations for jobs. Tachograph violations are reportedly commonplace, suggesting systemic compliance issues. The company operates a small fleet of approximately 7 MAN trucks. Overall, drivers describe the position as unsuitable for experienced professionals and suitable only for beginners unfamiliar with trucking industry standards. Payment reliability is questionable, with references to unclear and potentially unfair deductions from wages.
