    Silvicom, sounds good right? Or Wrong?

    Fairly new trucks - automatics (nothing special though) governed at 69.5 MPH

    They really don't run you hard; you'll be lucky to break $1100 / week take home.

    They don't tell you until they fly you up to O'hare:

    *They don't pay you the first 50 miles of every load you deadhead to..
    *Paperwork has to be sent trip-pak on Thursday, or you don't get paid the following Friday
    *When you go home, any miles from the point you unloaded at to your home; are deducted off you first pay check when you come back to work.
    *When you resign, turn in truck and paperwork, they hold your last check for 45 days.
    (Its been 50 days now and no paycheck for $1500 wages.

    IF you want to work for this company ---- knock yourself out & good luck.

    Well I was going to throw in my two cents. However, I agree with @Broke Down 69 . Let's leave it for @Lonesome . He loves these.

    I see this company all the time on the Ohio Turnpike. Have yet to see one driver that isn't Eastern European.

    Yeah we have heard that on here about a couple of the Chicago Volvo companies.
    I would never work for any company with that policy.

    They're called the "Volvo Mafia" for a reason. I see them advertising .65/mile on Craigslist now.

    There are a couple of honest Lithuanian companies around Chicago, but as a general rule, it's best to stay away. (I've met 2 guys who run for companies like them, they basically are just renting the MC #, supplying insurance and collecting money.)
