We connect talented candidates with international truck driving opportunities across Europe
Apply for an International Truck Driver Job
GOtalent is recruiting experienced drivers for international truck driving jobs based in Lithuania. Depending on current logistics needs, some routes may extend south to Greece or pass through neighbouring countries in the Balkan region.
Your employer, employment contract and primary job base remain in Lithuania.
What You Get
GOtalent works with Lithuanian transport companies whose trucks operate far beyond the country’s borders.
The position of an international truck driver comes with the following benefits:
- Long-term employment with a Lithuanian employer
- Regular experience on cross-border freight routes
- Opportunities to work with established transport companies
- Social guarantees and employment benefits
- Additional payments linked to mileage and performance
- Support when relocating to Lithuania from abroad
- Experience transporting freight across different parts of Europe
Lithuania has strong connections to European road transport corridors. Routes extend from the Baltic region through Central Europe and further south, giving drivers the possibility of passing through locations such as Greece during international assignments.
Requirements
We are looking for truck drivers with experience in international transport.
You should have:
- A valid CE-category driving licence
- At least 6 months of international truck driving experience
- Valid identification and required professional documents
Depending on the vacancy, your existing qualifications may also need to include:
- Code 95 professional qualification
- Digital tachograph driver card
- ADR certification for dangerous or specialist freight
- Applicable residence or employment documentation
Experience with refrigerated trailers or previous routes through the Balkans and Western Europe can be valuable for certain assignments, as well.
For most day-to-day communication, basic English is enough. Drivers use it to communicate with dispatch, receive instructions and coordinate international deliveries.
Our recruitment team will check your documents and clarify the exact requirements associated with the vacancy before you move to the next stage.
Where You’ll Drive
These international truck driving placements can take you far beyond the Baltic region.
Depending on freight demand and the employer’s route planning, you may travel through:
- Lithuania
- Greece
- Poland
- Hungary
- Romania
- Bulgaria
- Austria
- Germany
- Italy
- Other European countries
Greece occupies an important position in Southern European freight transport, with major ports such as Piraeus, Thessaloniki and Patras connecting maritime cargo with European road networks. This makes it a popular delivery or collection point.
However, countries and destinations vary from one assignment to another. Your actual route is determined by the cargo, customer orders and the Lithuanian transport company’s current logistics plan.
Truck Types
The kind of truck and trailer used depends heavily on what is being transported. International vacancies can involve everything from general freight to temperature-controlled goods and specialist cargo.
| Type | Used for |
|---|---|
| Standard Tautliner | Flexible transport of general goods, industrial freight, retail shipments and other standard European cargo. |
| Refrigerated | Temperature-controlled transport for food, pharmaceuticals and perishable products. Refrigerated trailers are particularly important for food and seafood logistics. |
| BDF – SWAP | Swap-body equipment used in organised distribution systems, parcel networks and scheduled logistics operations. |
| Car Transporter | Moving vehicles between ports, dealerships, manufacturers and distribution facilities. |
| Cistern | Carrying fuel, chemicals and other liquid products, often with additional safety requirements and ADR certification for certain loads. |
| Flatbed | Transporting machinery, construction materials, steel and cargo that cannot be carried conveniently in a standard enclosed trailer. |
Tell us which trucks and trailers you have driven before. Previous experience with a particular type of vehicle can help the recruitment team direct your profile towards more suitable vacancies.

- Keeping digital tachograph records accurate
- Observing required driving, break and rest periods
- Preparing CMR documents and delivery confirmations
