US transportation infrastructure failing the nation, says UPS CEO

Posted by | Mar 30, 2006 | |

Describing the nation’s roads, ports, railroads and airports as the backbone of global trade, UPS’s chief executive officer today warned that America was taking a chance with its future by neglecting its infrastructure. “What’s shocking, quite frankly, is the inability of our transportation infrastructure to keep up with the normal day-to-day stresses imposed upon it,” said UPS CEO Mike Eskew. “Our highways, waterways, railroads and aviation networks are simply not keeping up with ordinary demands. Eskew, in addressing the Houston Forum, said business leaders had to help Americans understand that their jobs and standard of living depend on a US economy that today depends on global trade.

DHL Appoints EVP for US Network

Posted by | Mar 29, 2006 | |

Package shipping firm DHL Express Americas named Charles Brewer, a longtime company executive overseas, as executive vice president of U.S. air products and services in an effort to help bolster its ailing U.S. business. DHL said Brewer has been with the company 21 years, recently managed its operations in Malaysia and also held senior jobs in the Asia-Pacific region and the United Kingdom. Express Joint CEO John Mullen said Brewer brings to his U.S. position “a track record of success at DHL in markets overseas.” Parent Deutsche Post recently said its fourth-quarter earnings were weighed down by DHL’s U.S. performance, where the express operation that was ramping up against market leaders FedEx and UPS lost customers after merging two separate air hubs last September into its Wilmington, Ohio, facility. DHL subsequently said it will directly take control of the inter-city trucking operations that were formerly managed by ABX Air, the company that provides most airplanes used by DHL Express and operates its package-sort hubs.
