    be careful with this company , they will cut ur miles , they are not going to pay u layovers, u have to pay tolls from ur packet and u will never going to see the reimbursement, plus they will try to make u run ilegal, and Be careful with the biggest lier ( Alex , Distpacher ) and he is good on that , he will lie to u every week, plus they play with ur money every week .

    Hello fellow truckers,

    I was never big on reviews and reading about companies because I am busy driving and making money but every now and then when I have a few minutes I like to update my self to what's going on in the industry, I've been with 5 companies through my 16 year driving career and I've been with Silvicom Inc for 4 years now and I must say that they are one of the fast growing leading companies in the industry who due care about their drivers and making money for everyone not just them selfs. I have always been on time and I have never had a single deduction from them, they provide every driver with new equipment and they pay top dollar per mile. Now as a driver I have experienced deduction in other companies for things that were clearly my fault and I am willing to respect that because if you're getting top dollar (47 cents/ mile) with a brand new truck and trailer and you cant preform you're minimum requirements as a driver you shouldn't be on the road. As far as pushing to drive I have never drove illegal with this company, they have rescheduled my appointments several times when I was feeling good or road conditions were bad and have never made me do anything that was not safe or unreal. So when I see bad reviews for a company I drive for and has been nothing but great to me I would like to write my experience down so you can make your own educated choice and realize that no company is ever good enough for us drivers, but if you want to make money with new equipment you these guys in my opinion are as close to great as it gets.

    Hope this helps

    Best regards,

    Angel R

    I have been working with this company for over 4 years and I have never experienced any problems with my pay. On top of it I get bonuses every now and then on good service. It amazes me that they have negative reports because these guys have been nothing but good towards me. I have referred 4 on my friends to this company and they are currently working for them and have not experienced any issues at all. I would refer this company to anyone.
