That 10% of the domestic market helped keep revenues down for Fedex and UPS. This is the real advantage of DHL getting out of the domestic shipping market. It has been a near zero growth market for years, but now there is some growth for the two remaining players plus increased pricing power.

Why make a portion of profits (agreement with DHL), when you keep all of it for yourself? Both UPS and Fedex will be much healthier as a result.

As for who moves DHL international freight, I hope they keep ABX and/or ASTAR. While I would like the extra flying, I would rather see them mitigate some job losses.
