GOtalent recruits experienced professional drivers for positions based in Lithuania.
You will be employed by a Lithuanian transport company and deliver freight between different European countries, including Estonia.
What You Get
GOtalent connects experienced drivers with Lithuanian transport companies operating international freight routes throughout Europe.

Lithuania is well positioned for international road transport, with freight corridors extending north towards the Baltic and Scandinavian markets as well as west towards major European logistics centres.
This means drivers can experience a variety of routes and destinations, including possible assignments through Estonia.

International freight work requires both professional qualifications and previous experience behind the wheel.
For currently available positions, you should have:

Before you proceed with a vacancy, the recruitment team will review your documents and explain any additional requirements connected with the position.
Where You’ll Drive
Lithuania-based international transport routes can extend throughout the Baltic region, Scandinavia, Central Europe and Western Europe.
Your assignments may take you through countries such as:

- Estonia
- Latvia
- Finland
- Sweden

Estonia can form part of routes connecting the Baltic states with Finland and the wider Scandinavian market. Depending on the assignment, you may pass through the country, collect cargo there or complete a delivery.
The destinations are not identical for every rotation. Routes are determined by freight volumes, customer orders and the Lithuanian transport company’s current logistics planning.

Previous experience with particular trucks, trailers or freight categories can make a difference when matching you with a position. Include as much relevant vehicle experience as possible when completing your application so our recruitment team can identify suitable vacancies.
