We booked Silvicom on a dry van load. They were responsive to our requests for status updates. No issues making appointment times. They provided a 53' swing door trailer as requested and their equipment was reliable. Excellent job by a dependable carrier.

Mixed reviews w/this one, their rates are consistent, however timeliness and driver responsiveness are not. Some loads are amazing, but there have a couple where appts have been missed w/no explanation and even as far as to delay a delivery by nearly 5 days.

WE have been working with this team for some time now and they never let us down when they are hauling our freight. Dispatch is easy to talk to and get the drivers on tracking and the drivers stay on tracking. Will be working again with them soon!

I have down business with Silvicom for over 10 years. They have always been a solid carier with no issues at all. Highly recommended!
