TRANS-PIK

TRANS-PIK is a Polish trucking company with highly polarized driver experiences. The company operates primarily on European routes, particularly to Germany, with a base providing accommodation for 6-8 drivers. Payment is reported as reliable and on-time by drivers who completed their tenure. However, the company faces significant criticism regarding deceptive recruitment practices, with management allegedly making unrealistic promises during phone interviews while avoiding written communication to prevent documentation of false claims. Working conditions include unpaid or heavily reduced-pay internship periods (2 weeks unpaid, 2 weeks at 50% pay reported), mandatory unpaid garage work for trailer maintenance at low hourly rates (10-15 PLN/hour), and forced financial contributions that drivers describe as coercively extracted. Communication between management and drivers appears problematic, with disputes over wages and conditions. Despite some neutral reports of adequate expeditors and no mandatory night driving, the overwhelming consensus emphasizes predatory hiring tactics, hidden fees disguised as garage work requirements, and exploitation of inexperienced drivers during training phases.
