Apply for an International Truck Driver Job
Looking for a stable, well-paid truck driving position with the chance to experience Nordic routes as part of your work?
GOtalent recruits experienced professional truck drivers for international positions based in Lithuania.
You will work for a Lithuanian transport company while transporting freight across different European markets. Depending on current logistics planning, Norway may be included in your assignment through road and ferry connections linking Scandinavia with continental Europe.
What You Get
GOtalent works with Lithuanian transport companies running international freight operations across Europe.
Depending on the vacancy, drivers can benefit from:
- Secure, long-term employment
- Experience on Nordic and wider European routes
- Work with established Lithuanian transport companies
- Social guarantees and employment benefits
- Extra payments linked to mileage and performance
- Support when relocating to Lithuania from abroad
- Opportunities to handle different freight and vehicle types
Requirements
We have vacancies for professional drivers who already have experience working internationally.
You should have:
- A valid CE-category driving licence
- At least 6 months of international truck driving experience
- Relevant identification and professional documentation
Depending on the vacancy and the qualifications you already hold, you may also need:
- Code 95 professional qualification
- Digital tachograph driver card
- ADR certificate for dangerous or specialised freight
- Applicable residence or employment documentation
Experience with refrigerated trailers, specialised loads or difficult winter driving conditions can be an advantage for some Nordic assignments.
Our recruitment team will review your professional background and confirm which qualifications and documents apply to the specific vacancy.
Where You’ll Drive
International assignments from Lithuania can cover the Baltic states, Scandinavia, Central Europe and Western Europe.
Depending on freight planning, your routes may include:
- Norway
- Other European destinations
Norway’s freight network connects major centres such as Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger, while road and ferry links connect the country with Sweden, Denmark and continental European markets.
A Norway-related assignment might involve delivering freight into the country, collecting a return load, moving goods between logistics hubs or continuing along a broader Nordic route.
Because Norway’s geography includes long distances, mountainous areas and coastal regions, individual assignments can differ considerably from standard Central European freight routes.
Truck Types
Nordic and international freight operations require different equipment depending on the cargo and destination.
You may work with:
| Type | Used for |
|---|---|
| Standard Tautliner | General cargo, industrial goods and regular international shipments moving between European markets. |
| Refrigerated | Temperature-sensitive freight such as food, beverages and pharmaceuticals requiring controlled conditions throughout transport. |
| BDF – SWAP | Swap-body equipment used in structured distribution, parcel services and scheduled logistics networks. |
| Car Transporter | Specialised carriers moving vehicles between ports, dealerships and distribution centres. |
| Cistern | Transporting fuel, chemicals and food-grade liquids, with ADR certification often relevant for certain cargo. |
| Flatbed | Construction materials, machinery, steel and oversized freight, including loads connected with industrial and energy sectors. |
Refrigerated and flatbed experience can be particularly valuable for some northern freight assignments.
Include details about the trucks, trailers and cargo you have previously worked with when applying so we can identify vacancies that suit your background.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this position mean I would live and work permanently in Norway?
No. Lithuania remains your employment base, and your contract is with a Lithuanian transport company. Norway may be one of the countries you visit during an international working rotation.
How might Norway fit into an international route?
An assignment could involve a delivery or collection in Norway, movement between Nordic logistics centres or road and ferry connections linking Scandinavia with continental Europe. The route depends on the freight being moved at that time.
Are Norwegian routes more difficult to drive on?
They can present different challenges from Central European routes. Mountainous terrain, long distances and winter conditions such as snow, ice and strong winds mean drivers need to remain particularly attentive to road and weather conditions.
What is the starting pay?
Current vacancies pay €2,850–€3,350 net per month. Your final earnings can vary with mileage, experience, transport type, assigned routes and any bonuses you qualify for.
Do I need previous Scandinavian driving experience?
It is not a standard requirement for every vacancy. You do need at least 6 months of international truck driving experience, while previous Nordic or winter driving experience can make your profile stronger for certain routes.
Will I need to speak Norwegian?
No. These are not Norway-based employment positions, so Norwegian is not generally required. Basic English is usually enough for everyday communication with dispatch and logistics teams.
