KAMIDA is a Lithuanian trucking company with mixed driver experiences. Drivers report a wide range of satisfaction levels, from those earning over €2000/month after gaining seniority to those frustrated with low starting wages (€35-40/week). Payment reliability is a recurring concern, with drivers mentioning that wages are partially withheld upon return to base (25% held back as incentive to return), and accounting errors are common—requiring drivers to verify all calculations. Management communication is frequently criticized as disrespectful and manipulative, with managers pressuring drivers to violate regulations and using payment manipulation as control tactics. The company operates international routes, particularly to Italy, with varying compensation. Truck quality and maintenance standards are not prominently discussed. Training costs (€600) and equipment rental (€60/trailer) are deducted from wages. Experienced drivers who perform well report acceptable conditions and earnings potential, while inexperienced or dissatisfied drivers describe exploitative practices and high staff turnover.
