767,
Before DHL restructured itself in 2003, DHL stateside was DHLAirways. Astar at that point was DHLAirways, which was a "franchise" of DHL Worldwide. After the restructure, J. Dasburg, formerly of NWA, bought DHLAirways and renamed it Astar Air Cargo, Inc. (He only took over the airline operations. All things ground reverted to DHL Worldwide.) Shortly after that, DHLAirways was absorbed into the global DHL Express machine. Astar's relationship with DHL now is that of an ACMI carrier. I hope this clears things up.

I KNOW this because I'm a major airline pilot, not a commuter puke like YOU are. Major pilots know these things. Commuter pukes speculate and dream of someday being ME!
