[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 204373, member: 7185"] My Dad sells to car plants, talks to UAW members every day. They never saw Honda, Toyota, etc getting as big as they are today. DHL is run by smart European men but I see a loooong road ahead for them. If they're going to succeed in the U.S., they need to have a better model worked out. Right now, they don't have it. In addition, they have to fight UPS AND FedEx. I don't see either of the above rolling over and playing dead for a new entrant. Now, I CAN see a FedEx/DHL merger or partnership very easily. If that happened...Heave have mercy on UPS. And I think FedEx will eventually go union. It won't happen without a h*lluva, [I]h*lluva[/I] fight but I can see it happening. If they don't go union, I can see them having financial trouble because they've borrowed so much stinking money. Red, you're in Illinois. Next time you're in southern Illinois, there's a FedEx building the size of ADDIL in Arcola, Illinois. That part of Illinois won't need that building's capacity for 20+ years. Maybe they're smart to build now rather than later. But, I've been seeing more and more problems with FedEx's financials in the last year or so. A sign of things to come?:laugh: -Rocky [/QUOTE]
