Transterra Polska Sp. z o.o.

Transterra Polska operates with a heavily exploitative work model despite offering payment guarantees. The company hires inexperienced drivers at €30/day for 2-week internships, then regular rates of €60 daily plus 2,800-3,500 PLN minimum monthly salary with guaranteed minimums even during home periods. However, working conditions are extremely harsh: drivers work almost daily night shifts on demanding 15/9 or 6/2 schedules, primarily on port-to-port routes between Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands. Equipment is consistently poor—aging vehicles from 2017+ with 500,000+ km mileage in deteriorating condition. Management treats drivers as "slaves," employing coercion tactics: complaints about exhaustion result in termination threats, while refusing to train new drivers results in assignment to the worst available vehicles. The company forbids Russian language communication despite hiring predominantly Russian-speaking staff and offers no language support. Staff turnover is notably high, with workers leaving "in batches." While some older reviews mentioned stable port work, the overwhelming consensus from current and recent employees indicates the combination of exploitative management, outdated equipment, and relentless night-driving schedules makes employment unsustainable long-term.
