Requirements
These vacancies are intended for drivers who already have practical experience working internationally.
Applicants should have:
- A valid CE-category driving licence
- At least 6 months of international truck driving experience
- Relevant identification and professional documentation
Depending on your existing qualifications and the available position, you may also need:
- Code 95 professional qualification
- Digital tachograph driver card

Where You’ll Drive
International assignments from Lithuania can stretch from the Baltic region through Central and Western Europe and down to the Iberian Peninsula.
Depending on current freight planning, your routes may include:
- Spain
- Other European destinations
Spain has strong road freight links with France and Portugal, while international corridors continue towards Germany, Belgium and other European markets. Major logistics activity is concentrated around Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Bilbao, alongside Spain’s important port infrastructure.
An assignment involving Spain could mean delivering freight to a distribution centre, collecting a return load, serving a port-connected logistics facility or continuing onwards towards Portugal.
Routes are not fixed permanently. The countries you visit depend on cargo requirements, customer orders and your Lithuanian employer’s current transport schedule.

International drivers may be working with several types of vehicles, depending on the assignment:
| Type | Used for |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Would I be employed by a company in Spain?
No. The job itself is based in Lithuania, and your employment contract is with a Lithuanian transport company. Spain may be included in your international work, but it is not your permanent employment base.
What could a Spain assignment look like?
You could travel through France before entering Spain, make a delivery at a logistics centre, collect freight for another European destination or continue towards Portugal. The exact route depends on the transport order you receive.
Could I drive to major Spanish ports?
Possibly. Barcelona, Valencia and Algeciras are important freight gateways, so port-related transport can form part of Spanish logistics operations. Whether one appears on your route depends on current customer requirements.
Do I need to know Spanish?
It is not a general requirement. Basic English is normally enough for communication with dispatch and international logistics teams. Some Spanish can still be useful when dealing with local warehouse or delivery staff.
Is refrigerated transport experience valuable for Spanish routes?
Yes, it can be. Spain has significant food and temperature-controlled freight activity, and refrigerated experience is specifically listed as an advantage for some driver positions.
What kind of rotation should I expect?
Current options include 8/4, 10/5 and 12/6, with drivers generally working around 160–190 hours per month. You will know the proposed rotation before accepting the vacancy.
