Be careful with Silvicom Inc & Silvicom Logistic, melrose park IL

me too bro , i work for this company and they are really strict with logs, they actually fired me for running on out of hours for couple of times and it was only like 5 minutes each and they held my money back , so i dont know what this guy is talking about

 

I guess this post or complain of yours is like 8 years ago, well i work for silvicom and i most tell you they have change totally and for your information i am not a Russian or from eastern Europe, i believe every company out there got their own issue , but trust me silvicom is great and doing great with Logs and safety, i always pass my Dot inspection all the time and they pay for passing dot inspection...

 

They fired you and you pass inspections.

 

Thank you for having the courage to walk away . What a lot of people don't realize is that it's a very difficult to walk away from the company . In most insanely holding driver pay check hostage. When you first start working they will hold the first check.
Pay on 2nd week after they debect whatever amount of money they want . In most instant they will charge driver for escrow, for insurance,for tolls. by the time you leaving the company they hold much of driver money that driver would rather stick around for another week until pay day. The company know this they will screw with your pay every week.

 

Forum should have sticky thread.

"NEVER EVER WORK FOR CHICAGO FOREIGNER CARRIERS. ESPECIALLY AS 1099 "EMPLOYEE"."

Would help prevent most of the bad experiences posted.

 

2 things I learned while driving. Foreign employers will take any money from your check when they get a chance. 2. Cover your own ### and stay away from Chicago Serbian/russian trucking companies.

 

I checked their SAFER page.

1060 driver inspections and only 1% out of service. National average is 5%. It's obvious they are doctoring their logs.

23 crashes in 2 years with only 90 trucks? Hmmm..1 out of 4 trucks has an accident.

Most likely they are getting the #### sued out of them on all fronts. Maybe it's time for an address or name change...

 

Thank you.

They are probably into other things as well such as identity theft, money laundering, extortion and human trafficking.

And imagine, applicants give these people all their sensitive info including bank acct numbers!

 

Probably the only way he could make .50cpm as an O/O.

 

That looks like a sign....

 

What was you first clue?

Was it this?
"I AVG 4-5 thousand miles a week. 3 weeks on the road/1 week home. Sometimes I stayed more than 3 weeks because my paychecks were usually 1,800-2,200."
