Lithuanian investigation reveals dangerous practices in long-haul road transport sector. A television documentary distributed online by a team of investigative journalists into appalling working practices in the largest Lithuanian international haulage companies has provoked widespread news coverage and urgent discussions in the Lithuanian parliament and government. Among the points of concern raised by the documentary makers, drivers are regularly forced to:

break traffic laws or face internal financial penalties imposed by their employers;
take diversions on higher risk rural roads to avoid paid toll motorways, and even on roads where HGVs are explicitly prohibited;
work on their longer rest weekend, with refusal to do so resulting in salary deductions;
always sleep in the cab, with fake hotel invoices provided to show that a long rest period has been spent outside the vehicle;
spend many months on the roads in some cases. https://etsc.eu/lithuanian-investigation-reveals-dangerous-practices-in-long-haul-road-transport-sector/
