[QUOTE="Old International, post: 322630, member: 14916"] I pick up from a major web based shipper. UPS was getting the lions share of the pkgs until %^&*^&%$ DHL showed up. Went from 2 53 footers a day to a single 28.:sad-very: Shipper came back for peak '07, then dropped UPS again in Jan 08. 1st of March the Nat Sales rep asked me if I had heard some rumblings of discontent from the shipper. I had, and he told me that DHL had fired all but two sales execs in the SE US. Our Sales rep told me to keep the ear to the ground, because DHL was most likely going into an exit mode. That day, the head of shipping told me to find some 53'trls, and store them on his lot, as he wanted to have the capacity when DHL left him high and dry. So what did I do- Fill out a sales lead, and hide 3 53' trls . The shipper's best guess is that DHL will be gone from domestic ground by 3rd quarter 08. [/QUOTE]
