Apply for an International Truck Driver Job
Looking for a stable, well-paid international truck driving position with the chance to experience Malta during your European routes?
GOtalent recruits professional drivers for positions based in Lithuania.
You will be employed by a Lithuanian transport company and work across international freight networks. Depending on current logistics planning, Malta may feature as a cargo collection or delivery destination.
What You Get
GOtalent works with Lithuanian transport companies carrying freight across a wide range of European markets.
Depending on the vacancy, you may benefit from:
- Secure, long-term employment
- International driving experience across different parts of Europe
- Work with established Lithuanian transport companies
- Social guarantees and employee benefits
- Extra earnings linked to mileage and performance
- Relocation and onboarding support in Lithuania
- Experience with road, port and ferry-linked freight operations
Routes reaching Malta can add another dimension to international work, combining long-distance road transport with maritime freight connections through the Mediterranean.
Requirements
Current vacancies are designed for drivers who already have practical experience with international transport.
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 the vacancy and qualifications you already hold, you may also need:
- Code 95 professional qualification
- Digital tachograph driver card

Experience with refrigerated freight, heavy cargo or ferry-linked transport can make your profile particularly relevant for some assignments.
Basic English is generally enough for regular communication with dispatchers and logistics coordinators. It can be especially useful on routes involving Malta, where English is widely used in everyday business and transport operations.
Our recruitment team will review your qualifications and confirm the exact requirements attached to the available position.
Where You’ll Drive
Working as a truck driver for Lithuanian transport companies can take you across the Baltic region, Central Europe, Western Europe and Southern European freight corridors.
Depending on current assignments, your routes may include:
- Lithuania
- Malta
- Italy
- Austria
- Germany
- France
- Belgium
- The Netherlands
- Poland
- Other European destinations
Malta’s location in the Mediterranean means freight reaches the country through maritime connections. Its ports, including Grand Harbour and Marsaxlokk, handle commercial cargo and link the island with wider European logistics networks.
The exact countries included in each rotation depend on customer demand, cargo requirements and the Lithuanian transport company’s current route planning.
Truck Types
Different international assignments require different combinations of trucks and trailers. Your previous equipment experience can help determine which vacancies are most suitable for you.

| Refrigerated | Food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products requiring controlled transport conditions. |

Keep in mind that experience with refrigerated or port-related freight can be particularly useful for routes involving Malta.
Make sure your application includes the trucks, trailers and cargo categories you have previously worked with. This allows the recruitment team to match your practical skills with the right type of vacancy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Would I be moving to Malta for this job?
No. Lithuania is your employment base, and your contract is with a Lithuanian transport company. Malta may appear in your route planning, but you are not being recruited to live and work permanently for a Maltese employer.
How can a truck driving assignment include an island like Malta?
Routes involving Malta use a combination of road and maritime transport. You may drive across continental Europe before the truck or trailer continues through a ferry or Ro-Ro connection to the island.
Is Malta included in every international rotation?
No. Malta is only one possible destination within a much wider European route network. Whether you travel there depends on the cargo, customers and transport schedule at the time of your assignment.
What is the starting salary?
Current Lithuania-based vacancies start from €2,850 net per month. Experience, mileage, assigned work and performance-related bonuses can increase your overall earnings.
Does refrigerated or ferry transport experience help?
It can. Malta relies heavily on imported goods and maritime freight connections, so experience with refrigerated cargo, ports or ferry-linked transport may strengthen your profile for certain assignments.
What happens before I start driving internationally?
You first complete onboarding in Lithuania. This may involve document checks, employer training and preparation for your first route, with shared accommodation available during the initial training period.
