    Be extremely wary of this company. They will rip you off every chance they get. They help themselves to your paycheck and always have a "valid" reason for it. They stole over $300 from our check after guaranteeing the mileage pay. A check that should have been almost $1200 for 3000 miles didn't make it to us, since they have "creative" bookkeeping. By the way it's a husband and wife operating this. We saw a huge turnover in what little time we were there. They gave permission to bring the truck home and then charged us $100. They have getting in your pockets down to and art! As to the equipment, if you're out and broke down, no matter where you are, they won't let you take it to get repairs done, you have to wait for them to drive to where you are. They refuse to pay out for anything.

    Due to all the bold highlighted print above...is it safe to assume your husband and you are running as a team? And getting only 3000 miles a week?
    Or are you one of these wives that interfere with their husbands relationship with his employer?

    No to both questions. What affects my husband affects me and vise versa. I don't have to give my life story, I was trying to save someone else what he went through with them. I will also add that I've been a driver's wife for over 20 years. In other words...it ain't my first rodeo.

    Hmmm, um, o.k.

    Your information about Sylvester Services out of Tyler, TX. is duly noted, and greatly appreciated. They sound like crooks, and I'm sure people like to know about that.

    P.S.- I have been a trucker for over 20 years as well...and married the whole time...and my wife has never once used "we", "our", and "us" when speaking to others about MY job. Hence my confusion.

    I understand your confusion, guess it's just the way we look at things. My checks and his are ours. The people we saw hire on and leave were folks that we met when I'd take him in to get his truck. I also realize that there are wives that do the things you mentioned, but I've never done anything like that. We vent to each about aggravation on our jobs and I got an ear full with this company!

    I think if you fellas didn't vent to us, there would be a lot of beat up dispatchers and receivers! Just think about all the jail time we save y'all from!

    Sylvester Services is truly one effed up place to work for. I worked for them and was cheated out of the majority of my pay. Good ol' Mark was nothing but a meth addict at the time and couldn't afford to pay me and support his habit at the same time. Now that was years ago, but I'm sure not much has changed.
