Apply for an International Truck Driver Job
Ready for a stable, well-paid international truck driving role with opportunities to work across Belgium and the rest of Western Europe?
GOtalent recruits experienced professional drivers for international freight positions.
Your employer and employment contract are Lithuanian, while your assignments can take you across multiple European countries. Belgium may be included as a transit country, collection point or delivery destination depending on current freight requirements.
What You Get
GOtalent connects professional drivers with Lithuanian transport companies operating international freight routes throughout Europe.
Depending on the available position, you could benefit from:
- Secure, long-term employment
- Regular international freight assignments
- Experience on major Western European routes
- Social guarantees and employment benefits
- Additional earnings linked to mileage and performance
- Support with relocation and onboarding in Lithuania
- Opportunities to work with different trailers and cargo types
Belgium is particularly relevant to European road transport because of its position between France, Germany and the Netherlands. It has major freight activity around Antwerp, Brussels, Liège and Ghent, making the country a key part of the wider Benelux logistics network.
For drivers employed in Lithuania, Belgium can form part of longer routes connecting Central Europe with ports, distribution centres and industrial areas across Western Europe.
Requirements
We are looking for drivers who already have hands-on experience with international road transport.
All applicants should have:
- A valid CE-category driving licence
- At least 6 months of international truck driving experience
- Relevant identification and professional documents
Depending on your qualifications and the specific vacancy, you may also need:
- Code 95 professional qualification
- Digital tachograph driver card
- ADR certificate for dangerous or specialised freight
- Applicable residence or employment documentation
You do not generally need Dutch or French for these Lithuania-based vacancies. Basic English is often enough for international transport communication, although knowledge of Dutch or French can make local interactions easier when working in Belgium.
Before you proceed with a vacancy, GOtalent will check your professional background and confirm the exact documentation required.
Where You’ll Drive
International routes operated by Lithuanian transport companies can take drivers through Central and Western Europe, including the Benelux region.
Depending on current assignments, you may drive through:
- Belgium
- Other European destinations
An assignment involving Belgium might mean delivering freight to a distribution centre, collecting goods for another European market or passing through the country while travelling between France, Germany and the Netherlands.
The route you receive depends on cargo, customer demand and your Lithuanian employer’s current logistics schedule.
Truck Types
Belgium’s freight sector handles everything from general cargo and food products to vehicles, chemicals and industrial materials. This creates demand for several types of truck and trailer combinations.
| Type | Used for |
|---|---|
| Standard Tautliner | General freight such as retail goods, packaging materials and industrial cargo. |
| Refrigerated | Food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products requiring controlled transport conditions. |
| BDF – SWAP | Swap-body systems commonly used in parcel transport, regional distribution and structured logistics networks. |
| Car Transporter | Specialised carriers moving vehicles between ports, factories, dealerships and logistics centres. |
| Cistern | Chemicals, fuel and food-grade liquids, with additional certification required for certain types of freight. |
| Flatbed | Steel, construction materials, machinery and oversized cargo. |
When completing your application, provide clear information about the trucks and trailers you have previously operated. That experience could make a difference when GOtalent matches your profile with vacancies requiring specific equipment or cargo knowledge.
