Although the market is no longer growing at the breakneck pace of 150% a year, as was the case in the late 1990s, it still saw an increase in both the volume and the value of deliveries in 2002.

Watson, a native of Canada who has run TNT’s U.S. operation since January 2001, said the merger will have no adverse impact on sales and operations in Canada. “This will be completely transparent to our customers,” he said. Customer service functions that had been handled in Canada will be transferred to Houston, where the express operator runs a customer service center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. TNT said it is hiring French-speaking representatives in Houston to handle inquiries from Canada.
