A Driver Job Portal Built for Lithuanian Employers
FastDriver.eu connects Lithuanian international hauliers, forwarding companies, distribution operators, bus companies and courier businesses with drivers looking for work.
Publish a genuine vacancy, state the licence category, describe the routes and the rotation, and receive applications directly. Lithuania has one of the largest international haulage sectors in the region, and candidates for those roles compare rotations closely. Browse current Lithuanian listings at www.fastdriver.eu/jobs/lithuania.
FastDriver.eu is a specialised driver job portal. It is not a recruitment agency or a temporary employment agency, it does not employ drivers and it does not lease workers.
Your company reviews the applications, interviews the candidates, inspects the original licence and qualification documents, and signs the employment contract under the Labour Code. The hiring decision stays with you.
Advertise the Driver Roles Your Fleet Needs
Lithuanian employers recruit heavily for international haulage alongside domestic distribution and passenger transport. State the licence category and the rotation, because for long distance roles that is what the decision turns on.
Truck and Heavy Goods Drivers
Advertise vilkiko vairuotojas and C or CE kategorijos vairuotojas positions in national distribution, port drayage, timber haulage and construction supply.
Bus and Coach Drivers
Publish roles for autobuso vairuotojas on Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipeda city networks, intercity lines, school transport and coach services.
Van and Delivery Drivers
Advertise kurjeris and pristatymo vairuotojas positions in parcel networks, grocery delivery and the e-commerce operations concentrated around the larger cities.
Tanker, ADR and Specialist Drivers
Reach ADR qualified drivers, tanker drivers, container and heavy transport drivers for refinery, port terminal and project cargo work.
Use a job title only where it genuinely matches the role. Unrelated titles added for traffic produce applications you will only reject.
Driver Hiring Across Lithuania
Lithuania is divided into ten counties. Transport employment concentrates around the three largest cities, the seaport and the corridors running north and south.
Klaipeda is the country's only seaport and an ice free one, handling container, bulk and ro-ro traffic that feeds directly into road haulage.
The corridor south towards Poland carries the bulk of international road freight, and much of the country's long distance driver employment is built around it.
Furniture, plastics, food processing and laser technology production generate scheduled inbound and outbound transport across the central regions.
The country's eastern and southern borders form part of the external frontier of the Union, which affects customs handling and routing for operators working those directions.
Where Lithuanian Employers Are Hiring Drivers
Naming the county helps candidates judge the base, which matters most for drivers choosing between a depot they return to daily and one they see once a fortnight.
Lithuanian Driver Job Titles and the Terms Candidates Search
Lithuanian drivers search in Lithuanian, and a share of the existing workforce, particularly in international haulage, searches in Russian as well.
Vairuotojas is the general term. For articulated work the specific word is vilkiko vairuotojas, and candidates attach the category as C kategorijos or CE kategorijos.
International work is searched as tarptautiniu reisu vairuotojas, and it carries a clear expectation of extended time away from home.
Passenger roles use autobuso vairuotojas, while delivery and courier work appears as kurjeris and pristatymo vairuotojas.
Candidates commonly list the 95 code and ADR in their profiles, and experienced long distance drivers often mention the regions they have run.
Publish in Lithuanian for the domestic market. Russian and English versions widen the reach considerably, and English is worth adding whenever you are open to candidates from outside the country.
Recruit Drivers Locally, Across Europe or Worldwide
FastDriver.eu operates as a European driver job portal and allows candidates in other parts of the world to discover and apply for suitable Lithuanian vacancies.
Lithuanian employers may receive applications from drivers based in Lithuania, other EU and EEA countries, Switzerland, the wider European region, Asia, Africa, Gulf countries, North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and other eligible international markets.
EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals may work in Lithuania without a permit. Licence and professional competence requirements still apply.
For third country nationals the employer starts the process by filing a mediation letter through the migration information system, and the candidate quotes its number in their own application. A decision of the Employment Service on labour market needs, or a work permit, may also be required.
Two changes matter for planning. A person must now hold a Lithuanian temporary residence permit in order to work here, since visas or permits issued by other states no longer suffice, and contracts for foreign nationals must be full time and run for a minimum period. Occupations the Employment Service recognises as being in short supply, which include heavy goods driving, are treated more favourably. Drivers can check their own position through our driving licence eligibility guidance.
FastDriver.eu can provide process guidance and document coordination when a candidate needs support. It does not make government decisions and cannot promise an approval.
Licences, Professional Competence and Experience
State the licence category in the advert. It is the first filter Lithuanian candidates apply.
Freight roles use C and CE, with C1 and C1E for lighter rigid vehicles. Passenger transport uses D and D1, with DE and D1E where a trailer is drawn. Delivery work sits in category B.
Professional drivers in the C and D categories need the professional competence qualification, shown as the 95 code on the licence or on a driver qualification card, and maintained through periodic training every five years.
A digital tachograph driver card is required for in scope work and ADR training for dangerous goods. For international haulage, check that the driver's documents cover every country on the route rather than only the destination.
Where a third country national drives for a Lithuanian operator on international journeys within the Union, a driver attestation may also be needed.
Experience requirements are set by operators. Long distance rotations call for route and hours management experience, port work for container handling, while distribution fleets often accept newly qualified drivers. FastDriver.eu can present candidate information, but verifying original documents remains the employer's responsibility.

Employer Responsibilities in Lithuania
The Lithuanian employer is responsible for the following.
Employing someone without a valid Lithuanian residence permit is unlawful and the employer bears administrative liability for it. An employer penalised for illegal or undeclared work, or for breaching the foreigner employment procedure, may be barred from employing new foreign nationals for a period, which is a serious operational risk for a haulage business.
FastDriver.eu does not issue any government approval.
FastDriver.eu cannot guarantee applications, candidate availability, candidate suitability, interview attendance, hiring outcomes, licence recognition, work permits, residence permits, visas, quota availability, processing times or continued employment.
Misleading vacancy content may be removed from the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FastDriver.eu?
A specialised driver job portal used across Europe. Lithuanian employers publish driver vacancies and receive applications directly from candidates.
Is FastDriver.eu a recruitment agency?
No. It is a job portal, not a recruitment or temporary employment agency, and it does not lease workers. Your company employs the driver directly.
Which Lithuanian employers can use the platform?
Legally operating transport and logistics companies, hauliers, forwarders, fleet operators, bus operators, delivery and courier businesses.
Can we publish vacancies in Lithuanian and Russian?
Yes. Lithuanian reaches the domestic market, Russian widens the reach among experienced international drivers, and English helps for candidates further afield.
Can we advertise international haulage roles?
Yes, and it is worth using the specific term for them. State the rotation and the time at home, since that is what candidates for these roles compare.
Can we recruit drivers from other EU countries?
Yes. EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals may work in Lithuania without a permit. Licence and professional competence requirements still apply.
Can we recruit drivers from Asia, Africa or the Gulf?
International drivers can find and apply for Lithuanian vacancies. Employment depends on a temporary residence permit and on the driver holding a licence and qualification valid for use in Lithuania.
What is the mediation letter?
A document the employer files through the migration information system confirming the employment and the candidate's eligibility. The candidate quotes its number when applying for the permit or visa.
Is heavy goods driving on the shortage occupation list?
Heavy goods driving is among the roles the Employment Service recognises as being in short supply, which brings more favourable treatment. The list is reviewed periodically, so confirm the current version before you apply.
Can a driver work here on a visa issued by another country?
No. Following a recent reform, a person must hold a Lithuanian temporary residence permit to work in Lithuania. Visa-free entry or permits issued by other states no longer suffice.
Are there conditions on the employment contract?
Yes. Contracts with foreign nationals must be full time and run for at least the minimum period set in law. Check the current requirement before you draft the offer.
Is code 95 required in Lithuania?
Yes. Professional drivers in the C and D categories need the professional competence qualification, shown as the 95 code, with periodic training every five years.
Who verifies driving licences and documents?
Your company does. The platform may collect candidate information and assist with document coordination, but inspecting the originals is the employer's responsibility.
How long does it take to hire an international driver?
There is no fixed timeline. It depends on candidate availability, your own process, the Employment Service stage where it applies and the Migration Department decision.
What does it cost to use FastDriver.eu as an employer?
Options depend on the number of vacancies, the promotion level and the support you need. Terms are agreed with your company in advance.
How do we start hiring?
Submit the employer enquiry with your company details and driver requirements, or post the vacancy directly. Your team then reviews the applications and selects the driver.
