Eddie Stobart Czech Republic

The reviews of Eddie Stobart Czech Republic present an overwhelmingly negative assessment of working conditions, with all five drivers providing zero-star ratings. While one driver acknowledges that salary is competitive compared to other Czech companies, this is severely outweighed by systemic issues. The primary concern is excessive working hours, with drivers reporting 84-hour work weeks that far exceed Czech and EU legal limits, causing serious psychological and physical harm. Payment practices are fundamentally unfair—drivers receive flat daily rates regardless of hours or time of day, directly violating ILO Convention #171 and EU Directive 93/104/EC, which mandate premium compensation for night work. Work-hour documentation lacks transparency and accountability. Additional grievances include no company-provided accommodation, poor equipment quality, discriminatory treatment of Slavic workers, workplace theft, management interference with compliance mechanisms, and concerns about tachograph manipulation. Multiple drivers describe the work environment as unsustainable and harmful, with high turnover as workers escape the company. The reviews collectively paint a picture of labor law violations, discriminatory practices, and worker exploitation masked by competitive base salaries.
