Double L Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I got a job interview with Gully Transportation based out of Quincy, IL Monday. I'm going to the St. Louis terminal for the first interview and then I got to Quincy to meet up with the Vice President. I was hinted I would be working in the brokerage department.

I'm so use to working in the shop that working in the office will be a change of pace especially in the brokerage department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double L Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 I don't think they broker freight out to other companies, I think it's to broker freight from shippers. But I don't know all the details, I'll find out Monday though.http://www.gullyicx.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thank you and thankfully I would be working in Missouri instead of Illinois!Ever worked in Misery before? Ya may rethink that statement come tax time when ya gotta fill out state tax forms for BOTH states. The "credit" you get for tax paid to Missouri will be more than you would have owed in Illinois...but that money is lost. Paid to Missouri, without getting a dime back from Illinois. If you overpaid to Missouri, you'll get a refund from Missouri...but Illinois income taxes are lower. Unless, of course you LIVE in Missouri...and in that case, you can deduct a few more things which get you back into the same ballpark as the Illinois taxes...but if you live in Illinois and work in Missouri, ya pay more. ....not to mention you get to commute, fighting your way thro0ugh traffic to cross the river in St. Louis like thousands of other commuters....

I remember seeing an ad to that affect somewhere, either in a magazine or maybe on Hank's Truck Pictures.Here's the story-http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/df_gully.htm Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Double L Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Freightliner stopped offering the FLD glider kits this year or this past year. He also has one Classic short hood glider kit with a 84" condo sleeper. All the FLD's have N14 Cummins in them with either 9 or 10 speed in them. There is about 25 FLD's with the ISX Cummins. He bought a few Pete 386's but he told me he made the mistake of getting the Eaton Ultra shift, the wheelbases are a bit too long, and he should have got a 63" raised sleeper instead of the 48" flat top. But I'm sure the 48" flat tops will be used for the Ohio turnpike doubles they run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
