Arijus UAB drivers report a severely deteriorated working environment following recent management changes. The company's low compensation structure is a primary concern, with drivers earning significantly less than competitors: containers pay 65-85€ versus 95€+ at other firms, and ADR rates of 110€ compared to 120€+ elsewhere. Management has explicitly refused wage increases despite driver demands. Working conditions have become harsh, with no consideration for personal problems and mandatory eco-driving requirements introduced without compensation adjustments. The penalty system is particularly punitive—every vehicle scratch incurs deductions, and accident charges of 500€ apply even when drivers are not at fault. Financial management appears opaque, with reports of unexpected debts. Experienced drivers are leaving en masse, attributed to former colleague Nerius now in management who allegedly became arrogant after his promotion. Historical accounts suggest the company previously offered acceptable conditions, but current drivers unanimously recommend avoiding employment here. The Klaipeda office reportedly provides no support for housing or personal belongings.
