[QUOTE="cookiejar, post: 1097534, member: 46149"] None of us know what the future is for Express. We can only see how it is trending and if the current trend continues the will not be much of a future to speak of. There are always stations that located in areas where business is bucking the trend and it sounds like you are in one of them so enjoy it while it lasts. However, you have to consider the fact that your story could be repeated by most of the old timers on this board should be a warning to you. It is probably a better idea to look into splitting your time between being part-time at FedEx and part time in a local college to get the degree that is holding you back from having better alternatives to choose from. Your station is always at the mercy of a large shipper or two that can change shipping habits at anytime which would result in you getting the minimum hours as a part-timer or full-timer. Making 20.xx an hour is only as good as your cost of living will permit, if you live in Florida it is pretty good, if you live SF Bay Area it is not so good. Do not make Express your long term option if can help it, LEAVE YOURSELF AN OUT. You will appreciate it down the road. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
