Apply for an International Truck Driver Job
Looking for a stable, well-paid truck driving position with the chance to work across Central and Western Europe?
GOtalent recruits professional truck drivers for international freight transport jobs based in Lithuania. You will be working for Lithuanian transport companies, carrying freight in various European countries, such as Hungary.
What You Get
GOtalent connects experienced drivers with Lithuanian transport companies operating extensive international freight networks.
We offer:
- Reliable, long-term employment
- Experience on international European routes
- Career opportunities with established transport companies
- Social guarantees and employment benefits
- Bonuses linked to mileage and performance
- Assistance when relocating to Lithuania from abroad
- Opportunities to work with different vehicles and freight categories
Lithuania’s strategic geographical location positions it as an ideal base for international transport, with convenient access to major European freight corridors. You will have an opportunity to drive through Hungary and other countries across the continent.
Requirements
These placements are best suited for professional drivers who already have practical cross-border experience.
For current vacancies, you should have:
- A valid CE-category driving licence
- At least 6 months of international truck driving experience
- Relevant identification and professional documentation
Other qualifications that may be relevant for certain positions include:
- Code 95 professional qualification
- Digital tachograph driver card
- ADR certificate for dangerous or specialised cargo
- Applicable residence or employment documents
Basic English is normally enough to communicate with dispatchers and logistics coordinators. Some knowledge of German can also be useful when working on routes through Central and Western Europe.
The recruitment team will review your professional documents before you proceed and explain which qualifications apply to the vacancy being offered.
Where You’ll Drive
An international truck driver can cover considerable distances during each working rotation.
Depending on transport demand, routes may take you through:
- Lithuania
- Hungary
- Poland
- Slovakia
- Austria
- Romania
- Croatia
- Germany
- Italy
- France
- Other European countries
Hungary sits at the crossroads of several important European transport corridors. It borders Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, making it a natural link between Central, Eastern and Southern Europe.
As a result, an assignment involving Hungary might mean delivering cargo there, collecting a new load or simply travelling through the country on the way to another destination.
Routes change according to customer orders, freight volumes and the Lithuanian employer’s current logistics schedule, so individual countries cannot be guaranteed for every rotation.
Truck Types
International transport companies require different combinations of trucks and trailers depending on what needs to be moved. Available positions can involve:
| Type | Used for |
|---|---|
| Standard Tautliner | One of the most widely used trailer types for general goods, industrial freight and regular international shipments. |
| Refrigerated | Designed for food and other products that need to remain within controlled temperatures during transport. |
| BDF – SWAP | Swap-body equipment often used for scheduled distribution, parcel transport and structured logistics networks. |
| Car Transporter | Specialised carriers for moving vehicles between factories, ports, dealerships and distribution facilities. |
| Cistern | Used for fuel, chemicals, food-grade liquids and other liquid cargo. ADR certification may be necessary for certain loads. |
| Flatbed | Suitable for machinery, steel, building materials and oversized or unusually shaped freight. |
Previous trailer and cargo experience can influence which vacancies are suitable for you. When submitting your application, provide more information about the equipment you have used in previous jobs. The more detailed your professional profile is, the easier it will be for us to identify a position that fits your background.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Would I be employed by a company in Hungary?
No. These vacancies are with Lithuanian transport companies, and Lithuania remains your official employment base. Hungary is one of the countries that may appear on your international route rather than the location of your employer.
How likely am I to drive through Hungary?
That depends entirely on current freight planning. Hungary’s location in Central Europe makes it relevant to many cross-border routes, so you could pass through the country or handle a pickup or delivery there, but it will not necessarily be part of every rotation.
What is the starting salary?
Available international driving positions currently pay €2,850–€3,350 net per month. Experience, mileage, the type of work you perform and performance-related bonuses can all influence your final earnings.
How much time will I spend working and resting?
The main rotation patterns are 8/4, 10/5 and 12/6, with drivers usually completing around 160–190 working hours per month. You will know the rotation attached to your vacancy before accepting the job.
Is speaking Hungarian necessary?
No. You are not being recruited for a Hungary-based position, and Hungarian is not a general requirement. Basic English is typically enough for everyday communication with dispatch and logistics teams, while German may be helpful on some routes.
What professional documents should I have?
A valid CE-category licence is essential, while requirements such as Code 95, a tachograph card or ADR certification depend on your qualifications and the vacancy. The recruitment team will check your documents before confirming the position.
