REGESTA is a Polish trucking company with uniformly negative driver feedback across all reviews. The company implemented a performance-based pay system starting April 2, 2024, requiring drivers to achieve 500+ km daily averages to receive the standard €62 EU premium rate. Payment reliability is a critical issue, with drivers reporting regular salary delays of up to 7 days despite contractual agreements. The company pays advances on the 10th and official monthly salary on the 20th, but frequently violates these terms without clear communication channels. Drivers must work 6 weeks before receiving their full salary and per diem allowances, creating significant financial hardship. Trucks are equipped with monitoring systems (transducers) that track fuel efficiency, idle time, and braking patterns, creating pressure for economical driving. Management communication is poor, with drivers forced to contact managers daily only to hear vague promises of payment "today or tomorrow." One serious incident involved alleged theft by a REGESTA driver (license SKL 30290) attempting to steal a mirror from another driver's cab. Overall, drivers describe deteriorating working conditions and express they would not recommend the company.
