Samarina UAB receives uniformly negative 0/5 ratings from drivers, with consistent complaints about exploitative working conditions and payment manipulation. The company uses deceptive hiring practices, promising flexible hours but limiting employment to 8 weeks and controlling schedules rigidly. Base pay starts at only 80 euros with minimal bonuses (under 7%), and bonuses are contingent on violating EU rest regulations and driving safety rules. Payment is delivered monthly at just 80% of earnings with unexplained deductions and phantom charges at contract end. Drivers report being forced to work approximately 90 hours per 2 weeks with rest periods of only 9-45 minutes, with breaks frequently cut short despite loading/unloading times. Management is described as unprofessional and threatening, using payment withholding as leverage. The company systematically shifts liability to drivers for fuel theft, traffic fines, and parking costs while forcing vehicles onto dangerous French national roads with prohibited parking zones. Trucks are maintained poorly, with drivers required to drive aggressively without engine warm-up or idling allowed. Overall, the company operates through systematic financial exploitation and regulatory violation, with drivers characterizing it as the worst trucking employer in Lithuania.
