My dad worked for DHL ofor 25 years in the US. I believe they could have been a player in the US market if not for some poor decisions concerning acquisitions among other things.
I probably know your dad. The mistakes DHL made in the US market should be a harvard doctoral thesis on how NOT to do mergers and acquisitions. Billion dollar disaster. Fortunately, its a very big company and we got well from it. Very profitable now.

He has worked everywhere from LA, ATL, Houston but spent a good amount of time in Cinci. He left a few years after the acquisition of Airborne. They begged him to stay but he was ready to get out.

I got a kick out of this. I'll have to tell him that as a joke.

DHL tried to compete in the US with FEDEX and UPS for a while, didn't they? But then they closed that piece of their business?
