[QUOTE="Maui, post: 1233059, member: 45037"] A couple thoughts here. First, I think Hypo is totally right about working the oil fields. You can get plenty of OT and make 6 figures. In areas where the oil fields are booming FedEx can not keep couriers because of the massive pay difference. Second, to answer the original question the highest paying areas are also the most expensive. SF, LA, NYC. The pay does not make up for the increased COL IMO. SF markets may start at around $18/hour and that is the highest you can get except for Swing which is about $1.50 more plus $.30 at the bottom of scale. I think a higher market level without exorbitant cost would be my choice if you MUST stay with Express --think Chicago $16.61, Dallas around $16. Go to a station that has an opportunity for OT if you want to make any money. All postings include the market level. Once you know that you can log onto the intranet site at Keyword: Compensation to check the current hourly rates. You can check most other positions as well including management and other salaried positions. Lastly, you would go to top of range or very near if you enter management and step down. Policy dictates that your pay can be cut a certain max % so you would get a hefty raise. 1 year though is not enough time to voluntarily step down. More like 2 years. [/QUOTE]
