No Doubt Now!
You might be right, but as far as having any volume left for you to fly with DHL firing their US sales force, I wouldn't feel too confident about your job.
I'm glad to see UPS doing this, and it's good to know that UPS is trying to get all DHL's business before they pull out of America.
UPS and FedEx will be much better off after DHL pulls out of here and goes home.

Sorry, but I am pretty low on the seniority list here at UPS. I am glad for any and all business that UPS gets.
I feel bad for the DHL guys, but I don't think there is much hope for DHL to be successful here in the USA after reading that they are firing all the sales staff and not allowing new accounts to be opened.
Also, I've been hearing that the deal is on track and DHL will be using UPS for domestic AND international. The reason why it is taking longer is that it is bigger and of course because of the election.

My bet is this "deal will be done" on or about when the last Election Day polling place closes (Alaska).
2008 Poll Closing Times - Electoral College Chronologically
Or possibly as early as 0030Z, when Ohio's polls close out.

As far as DHL International, they're here to stay. That's DHL's bread and butter and where they far exceed UPS and FedEx.

There's a difference!
Jeez, I guess I am a manager too then because I've submitted a bunch of 'Take Charge' leads trying to get business people that I or my wife know to change from DHL to UPS. I've heard that UPS sales were able to convert one too.
