Arka Sp. z o.o. receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from drivers, with all 8 reviews rating the company at 0/5 stars. Drivers consistently report severe problems with vehicle maintenance and equipment, describing trucks as 'bare' lacking essential components like hoses, pressure gauges, and light bulbs that drivers must provide themselves. Payment practices are heavily criticized, with drivers reporting double or triple deductions, delayed compensation for new employees (approximately 6 months of minimal earnings), and mandatory company insurance policies charged at inflated rates despite drivers having their own coverage. Working conditions are described as exploitative, with shifts exceeding 15 hours and high expectations for loads involving numerous small items requiring time-consuming preparation. Management, particularly dispatcher Arthur, is portrayed as ruthless in extracting maximum productivity from drivers while minimizing pay. The company allegedly imposes fines for any violations including overspeeding, charges for uniforms (approximately $100), and even fees for tachograph tape. Drivers unanimously advise others to avoid the company entirely.
