Girteka Logistics Poland Sp. z o.o.

Girteka Logistics Poland presents itself as an entry-level employer but generates overwhelmingly negative feedback regarding working conditions and payment practices. While the company offers modern vehicles, 24/7 support, and training for new drivers, these benefits are overshadowed by systematic financial exploitation. Drivers report fuel overage charges (€150-500) levied without documentation or clear justification, arbitrary payment deductions, and underpayment during settlements. A critical concern is management pressure to violate tachograph regulations, with drivers allegedly forced to work 105+ hours instead of legal 90-hour limits. Recent policy mandates require Lithuanian residency permits for certain routes, costing drivers €700-800 and requiring months of processing. Management is described as incompetent, unresponsive, and treating drivers as disposable labor. Long vehicle dispatch queues (6-8 hours), seasonal pay cuts, and forced use of company navigation that incurs unexpected toll charges compound frustrations. Despite decent route quality and modern refrigerated trucks, the workplace culture prioritizes cost-cutting over driver welfare.
