Kelias UAB was reportedly a well-functioning trucking company with 30-35 vehicles and positive working conditions until mid-2021, when Ukrainian director Sergey took management control. Multiple drivers report sharp deterioration: irregular and delayed salary payments (2-3 days unpaid), poor vehicle maintenance, and systematic violations of work/rest regulations. Drivers allege they face termination if they follow labor laws while working with expeditors like DelaMode who demand non-compliance. Significant ethnic discrimination is reported—Ukrainian workers receive new vehicles while Lithuanian and Belarusian drivers with 15+ years tenure are assigned trucks with over 1 million kilometers and receive poor maintenance. The company allegedly charges drivers for parking fees after unloading. Approximately 50% of the workforce quit within the first few months under new management. The situation is compared unfavorably to other major carriers like Girteka, representing a complete reversal from previously respected operations managed by Lithuanian ownership.
