Girteka Logistics: 'Drive until you drop'

Meet Yurii, a Ukrainian truck driver, working for Girteka Logistics Lithuania. One of the biggest transport companies of Europe. During the pandemic Yurii was cross-crossing Europe with loads for companies such as IKEA and AMAZON.
Through the fault and the callous attitude of Girteka, Yurii almost died while being on the road. Even though there are European laws and regulations to protect drivers against malicious behaviour from their employers, Yurii lived in his truck for 11 months nonstop. Even after reporting to his employer that he was exhausted and sick he was pushed to deliver his cargo. As a result he collapsed on a parking on Christmas evening. And there is way more to tell……
Girteka Logistics has committed themselves to the United Nations Global Compact standards intending to safeguard human rights and fair employment conditions Despite of these nice intentions Yurii almost died and Girteka has taken no responsibility to remedy his situation.
Who will push Girteka to put their oh-so-reassuring United Nations sustainability reports into practice?”

Every single Eastern European transport company treats foreign drivers like shit. I’m from Lithuania and I work for Lithuanian company and everything is ok for me, but recently they started hiring Indian and Pakistani drivers. Those drivers live in trucks for at least a year and get payed only 45€ per day (consider the fact that drivers work anywhere from 13 to 15 hours a day + some nights). That’s 1/3 of what I’m being payed. Those guys aren’t taught anything. Also they take money away from them for “bad” fuel economy, damages.

thats why i quit trucking even tho im lithuanian, never worked in girteka or any other shithole like vlantana hoptrans or manvesta , 6 years of trucking couldnt bear the stress or stupid tacho laws, good well paid job turning into modern slavery and im not gonna be one of them. for every young truck driver out there quit this job, or find a better place to apply in WEST EU countries where they have laws, I started studying Typescript programming couldnt feel better. at least i wont get penalty for working 8:01 hours.

Hi sir

[@PrzemysawPytel]

One word. Shock! and more: fattening on human injustice.

[@ИгорьАриков-ь8п]

Ну так а как ты хотел.

[@Jump3rLT]

Ye ye, drink less vodka eat properly and no problems. Why it is Girteka fault

[@thegreatunknown8014]

You are simply stupid mate!

[@Grotegnaffelaar]

Gieteka ignored signals that hé was not ok. Girteka lets a driver go around for 11 months. For minimum wage. You tell me if Girteka is not at fault here. They dont givena fuck about humans. It is about cashing. Everything to be the cheapest.
