ANTRANS GROUP is a Polish trucking company with mixed operational capabilities but significant compensation concerns. Drivers report that while the company operates modern vehicles and maintains in-house service and washing facilities, the primary compensation structure is freight-based, resulting in highly variable monthly earnings typically ranging from 6,000 to 7,000 PLN. Multiple drivers across different years report that promised salaries of 10,000-11,000 PLN are not realized in practice. Management is frequently described as unprofessional and sometimes disrespectful toward Ukrainian drivers. Working conditions include unpaid waiting times and downtimes, with pickup/dropoff scheduling controlled by dispatchers, sometimes causing delays. Contracts are initially offered for 3-month periods, suggesting high driver turnover is expected. Main routes operate to Italy, Germany, and within Poland. Despite some positive aspects like new equipment and in-house maintenance, the compensation practices and management approach create a challenging work environment that drivers advise others to avoid unless desperate for employment.
