V-Trans Logistika

V-Trans Logistika drivers report extremely poor working conditions and systematic wage theft through excessive deductions. The company operates as a staffing agency under Danish parent company HCS, which owns all equipment, tractors, trailers, and cargo. Drivers report wage deductions without upfront disclosure, charging employees for fridge maintenance, accident damage, cargo losses, and miscellaneous costs that consume entire paychecks. Management communication is non-existent—drivers cannot reach supervisors during emergencies, and managers ignore calls for assistance. Key manager Donatas allegedly promised full wage restoration for damage deductions but failed to honor commitments. Rather than a legitimate trucking company, V-Trans functions primarily as a recruitment agency for Eastern European drivers while parent company HCS controls all assets and decision-making. Drivers report losing nearly 100% of salaries to various deductions; one driver mentioned losing entire monthly salary for minor cargo damage (two juice packages). Payment reliability is critically compromised with workers left with virtually nothing after deductions.
