Will be interesting to see how that affects Technicolor Entertainment Services (TES) deliveries. Assume ABX Air Inc. will still do the air shipping, but who will truck the film to the theatres? [Confused] Or will DHL pick up both air and ground shipment contract? [Confused]

I'm under the impression that most TES prints shipped via Airborne are not carried by air. cf. the chapter in Deadline that talks about an 18-wheeler of prints spilling open on a desert highway.
