Driver experiences at Sausumos transportas UAB reveal a mixed but predominantly negative picture with notable recent improvements. The company has faced significant challenges regarding working conditions, vehicle maintenance, and management treatment. Multiple drivers reported receiving old, poorly maintained trucks (Euro 5-6 standards) that lack proper heating systems, interior repairs, and essential winter safety equipment like chains. Payment reliability has been a persistent issue, with drivers experiencing both salary delays and deceptive payment practices—advertised daily rates of 60 euros don't account for unpaid weekend days during shift transitions. However, recent management changes offer encouragement. Newer reviews indicate that the departure of a particularly problematic manager (Renata) has led to improved communication and more respectful treatment of drivers. Current employees report receiving salaries on time with relatively stable and competitive rates compared to competing companies. The company has attempted rebranding (previously called D,GALKIO) following reputation damage.
Pros
Management improvement with professional and adequate leadership
Competitive and stable salary rates compared to other companies
Timely salary payments under current management
Better driver treatment and respect after recent leadership changes
