ABX Hiring!?!

[GoABX]

Just to clarify my point: DHL will not be leaving the US market. They will sub-contract (sell) the management of the US system back to ABX.

Just like the regional hubs flipped back and forth. Hete could run the system of pick up, sort, delivery for DHL. Vans and planes are still yellow...it still looks like DHL to the retail customer.

With a long term contract, expanded revenue and a bump in share value, getting financing for the pending refleet issue now is easy.

The fault in my logic has been how does ABX simultaneously serve DHL, ANA, and BAX? Well selling the whole shooting match back to ABX solves the dilemna. ABX merely becomes a service provider for all. Amalgamating the freight into one system provides synergies, which actually gives ABX a chance of success.

Don't know if this is the plan, but it is a logical possibility. (Just in case forward to Hete and Klaus - Plantation can't help but F.U. everything they touch.)

Follow the money trail. Forget about logic.

Follow the money trail. Forget about logic.

There is no money trail, thats the problem. They (DP) have been dumping money into the US market and <poof> it is gone with no return to investors. And that is reason for the battle cry for them to pull out.

I hope they don't, but service and reliability need to get the customers back or it could very well be curtains. And the DHL MKE screw up is a perfect example of what is wrong with DHL. Every single person should be fired up there. Especially the sups and mgrs there. They can open the door, put up signs and call the cops, they can get pakages out of the back and get them to the customers. Sure it may take a while with only a couple of them, but they would be doing their job. IMO anyway. They get that title and pay to get the job done. They are not better than trowing pakages or picking them up. Thats what they get paid for. They should be working 10x harder and longer than the average worker. That comes with the job and if they dont want that then dont accept the position. We are in the service industry, PERIOD. No excuses. No pointing fingers. The customer does not give a rats bottom about anything but getting the service they paid for. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp in todays work force?

"DHL employees put signs in their windows taunting customers. There was a sign that read 'If you want your packages, come to the side door with $200,'"

Criminal! They Should all be fired! And the MKE Station Manager who allowed that crap should be "Drawn and Quartered"

Hey Heres something you ABX/ASTAR may be interested in... It was on a website I visit clarkhoward.com

DHL/Walgreens pact to put the heat on FedEx, UPS
Clark loves competition. He always worries when you have a shared monopoly like FedEx and UPS do in the package-delivery business. Shared monopolies usually result in higher prices or a decline in service. Case in point: FedEx and UPS announce their rate increases every December. Now it looks like DHL will step up as a viable competitor and cease being the 98-pound weakling of the industry. That's because DHL is teaming up with Walgreens to launch service centers in 6,500 stores. One of the big problems with DHL -- owned by the German post office -- had been that it was difficult to find a drop spot. Clark recently had to send an overnight package via DHL. He had to pass several FedEX and UPS drop areas and travel to a shady, industrial part of town to get to the DHL facility. But that will all change thanks to the Walgreens deal. In capitalism, it is the third competitor that creates true innovations in price and service. Meanwhile, Clark buys his DHL overnight mailing envelopes at Costco for a low price. Did you know that there are now 50 million Americans (out of our 300 million total population) who are Costco members? That's about 1 in every 5 adults -- even though Costco is only in about 37 states.
