DHL is going to buy ABF. Much better operator. if they can't get that done, they might look at Saia perhaps.
UPS will not buy Saia. They already have that network in place with UPSF. Nothing to be gained. Plus, buying another non-union carrier will do nothing but make the Teamsters even madder than they are already are about the old Overnite...which is plenty darn mad.

No offence to anyone here, I find it rather neat how people speculate on what UPS can and cannot buy. UPS can buy ABF, wether they do ,or not ,remains to be seen, if they buy anyone at all. UPSF is still in it's infancy, we have alot too acomplish yet, and thinking of a buyout this early is quite PREMATURE. At least until the #'s start rolling in, and our effinciency is where it needs to be.
As long as the company being bought is under the name UPS , UPS can buy any thing they want and run it as a seperate entity from UPSF. After all , UPSF is actually a division of SCS which is comprised of both organized and non organized labor.
Furthermore if they do buy another entity here in the US , UPS will not only be doubeling thier coverage, they will be buying out account's as well as realestate ,and it will be someone with a footprint in CANADA, A BIG ONE. and three carriers come too mind. 2 green 1, blue.
