June 30, 2020 at 2:27 pmDBS might have screwed up long ago in the Americas when they cut their intra-U.S. network out (even though they now want to rebuild one). When they bought BAX Global years ago, they had the chance to make a huge splash. Granted, the recession didn’t help any in ’08/’09. It would be interesting to see what the numbers were when they disbanded the internal trucking network for the U.S. and how that has effected their U.S. performance.
I left BAX before everything finished merging (middle ’06). People have come and gone, though still know some people that have stayed through the whole time. I know some were sad with the way DBS changed many things. It came more of a giant conglomerate instead of a people company the way BAX was. Though BAX had changed to some degree over the years, just with who controlled them.
Great article. We will see if DBS can bring it back around in the Americas.
