Had a talk with a very senior DHL person over beers on Friday. Whilst he couldn't, or wouldn't, be very precise he mentioned the following options:
1) DHL pulls out of NA all together.
2) DHL sells the NA domestic operation to another operator (i.e. FedEx)
3) DHL sells the NA domestic operation to FX and FX sells the EU operation to DHL
4) DHL "pulls a FedEx" and decides to service only major business areas in NA.
5) OPS normal, as far as operations goes, but with major contractual changes (ABX is presently being paid cost +X for every flight performed for DHL).
1 and 3 seems the least likely, but I've no idea which way the tide will turn.
Latest plans will see my sorry self amongst the corn fields in mid May. If that's firmed up, suggest you'll allow me to take whomever fancies going out for a couple of brews and a meal on the expense account. I can smoke outside in May
I personally do not think you have clearance to talk to the clerk in the DHL mailroom, or maybe that is who you are talking to! DHL pulling out of US all together would be just like the Germans 60 years ago start a project then commit suicide. Dp has said over and over they have no plans to pullout of the US market.So the people you are talking to do not know jack.
