[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 87738, member: 2020"] Dumb question..............maybe.....we had almost purchased DHL back in the 80's--but decided not to......we started buying planes from the Airlines that were going under---Braniff----and leasing them to Delta and than started our own Int'l service!. I would think that with so many airlines in financial difficulty today , we would buy some more planes and lease them back to Delta--Northwest---whomever.I would think that could be somethig we could do----and dual utilize the planes for our lift. I was stopped at a Railroad Crossing last week and watching all of the Cargo containers pass by--must have been 200---all with Conex(?), or something like that---and was thinking that UPS should buy a large freight forwarding company or railroad?? It needs to be something that compliments what we are currently doing----wouldn't and didn't make sense to buy RPS (Caliber Systems) and some of our purchases are definitely well planned and strategic------whay didn't we purchase Yellow instead of Overnite?? I think because we were positioning Yellow to be aquiredf by DHL somewhere down the road and have them worry about migrating a large Union Trucking Company into their non-union infastructure. Don't know too much about TNT---except that they are very well known outside of the US. [/QUOTE]
