[QUOTE="mattwtrs, post: 398182, member: 1187"] From Logistics Management: —“DHL may have figured out it can get better service and a lower price from UPS Ground than the USPS. “DHL needs to pick up the pace at which it is right-sizing US operations,” said the source. “They have to rationalize their expenses with their income far more rapidly than they have been doing it [in his Judiciary Committee testimony this week, DHL Express CEO John Mullen said DHL is suffering operating losses of about $5 million per day], and they might have figured out that it might be better to outsource deliveries to UPS rather than the USPS because of better cost and service.” “Both parties are committed to reaching an agreement,” a DHL spokesperson told LM. “Discussions between DHL and UPS are ongoing and details about the proposed arrangements and the timing of a final agreement are still subject to negotiation and confidentiality requirements. We regret that we are not in a position to provide more details at this time.” Maybe the added volume will mean another route or 2 per center! [/QUOTE]
