BALTIC LINE UAB receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from drivers, with the most consistent complaints involving payment discrepancies and exploitative damage deduction practices. While one experienced driver (5+ years) defends the company's transparent salary communication and structured payment system (advance before departure, then every 3 weeks, final settlement in 7-10 days), multiple reviews report actual pay falling €7-10 short of advertised rates (€72 advertised vs €65 actual). Damage deductions are severe and disputed—a 1mm scratch resulted in €170 charge, and mechanic overcharges reportedly reach 3-4x actual repair costs. Equipment quality is questionable, with outdated truck photos showing older DAF models when management claims new Volvo fleet. Management reliability issues include broken departure promises, with hired drivers facing delays. The company deteriorated notably over time, with initial accommodating management (manager Diana) giving way to increasingly stringent policies. Russians are reportedly not hired, possibly due to legal restrictions.
