Apply for an International Truck Driver Job
Looking for a stable, well-paid truck driving job with the possibility of travelling through Finland as part of your international assignments?
You will be employed by a Lithuanian transport company and transport freight across different European markets. Your employer, employment contract and primary work base remain in Lithuania.

- Experience on international and Nordic transport routes
- Work with established Lithuanian logistics companies
- Social guarantees and employee benefits
- Additional mileage and performance-related bonuses
- Relocation support when moving to Lithuania from abroad

Requirements
We offer vacancies for professional truck drivers who have experience with international freight transport.
Candidates are expected to have:
- A valid CE-category driving licence
- At least 6 months of international truck driving experience

Depending on the position and your existing qualifications, you may also need:
- Code 95 professional qualification

Basic English is usually sufficient for communicating with dispatchers, logistics coordinators and other members of the transport team.
Before you move forward with a vacancy, our recruitment team will check your profile and explain exactly which qualifications and documents are required.
Where You’ll Drive
International drivers employed in Lithuania can work on routes extending throughout Northern, Central and Western Europe.
Depending on current freight assignments, this may include:
- Lithuania
- Finland
- Estonia
- Latvia
- Sweden
- Poland
- Germany
- Denmark
- The Netherlands
- Belgium
- Other European destinations
Finland is an important part of Nordic freight transport, with cargo moving between its industrial regions, ports and neighbouring markets. However, keep in mind that Nordic routes can also involve longer distances and more demanding seasonal conditions, particularly during winter.
Exact destinations vary according to cargo requirements, customer demand and the Lithuanian transport company’s current schedule.
Truck Types
Different freight assignments require different vehicles, trailers and levels of specialist experience. Lithuanian transport companies may offer international vacancies involving:
| Type | Used for |
|---|---|
| Standard Tautliner | General cargo, industrial freight, retail shipments and other common international loads. |
| Refrigerated | Food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products that require controlled transport conditions. |
| BDF – SWAP | Swap-body systems used in organised parcel, distribution and logistics networks. |
| Car Transporter | Moving vehicles between ports, dealerships, distribution centres and other logistics facilities. |
| Cistern | Transporting liquid cargo such as fuel, chemicals and food liquids; certain assignments may require ADR certification. |
| Flatbed | Carrying timber, steel, machinery, construction materials and oversized or specialist cargo. |
Flatbed and refrigerated transport can be particularly relevant on routes involving Finland because of its forestry, industrial and food logistics sectors.
Make sure your application includes details about the trucks, trailers and cargo types you have previously worked with. This helps the recruitment team find vacancies that better match your practical experience.
What Does an International Truck Driver Do?
As an international truck driver, your typical day will involve:
- Inspecting and preparing the vehicle before departure
- Receiving route plans and instructions from dispatch
- Supervising loading and checking that freight is secured correctly

- Adapting to different road and weather conditions
- Recording driving and rest periods with a digital tachograph
- Completing transport paperwork and delivery confirmations
- Staying in contact with logistics coordinators in English
- Reporting delays, technical problems or changes to the planned route
- Following applicable transport and safety requirements
Routes through Finland may require additional attention during winter because snow, ice and reduced daylight can make driving conditions more challenging.
