Are you sure about that, Euro??Secondly, Airborne never did supply chain management or designed and implemented complex logistical solutions. That's a whole different ballgame.
Yes, DHL's roots are International. But Airborne (now ABX) knows something of international shipments too. We received approval in 1984 to make ILN the only privately owned Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) in the United States.Thirdly there's the international aspects. ABX used to be US domestic only, now they've got to handle a large number of international import and export shipments, something they are still struggling with in the ILN hub.
Dangerous Goods (‘Haz Mat’ in the US) was also a huge profit center for Airborne Express. You say we were “utterly inadequately equipped to handle” HazMat. I say we were able to keep our own HazMat customers happy for many many years before DHL showed up.Fourthly there's the whole issue of Dangerous Goods. This is a massive earner for DHL, but something ABX was, and still is, utterly inadequately equipped to handle.
I'm way to detached emotionally to harbour any hatred towards something like an entire company. I am, along with a large number of DHL people this side of the pond, frustrated at the attitude we get from ABX management.
DHL bleeding here in the States is no secret. None of this really adds up or maybe it does and I just cant add. It would take FedEx a while to add the additional lift to absorb DHL domestic. If Im not mistaken didnt a news service somewhere report FedEx rejected the idea?
ABX does most of the DHL hauling and they just bought a load of DC8's and 72's with the purchase of CHI. I know those planes are already tasked, but is this a sign that ABX is altering it business plan or gearing up for something else.
Some one need to bug the phones and the board rooms. Its the only way to know for sure.
