BAX in Toledo, Ohio to close it's doors

As a pilot for a company that contracts flying with BAX (DB Schenker) out of Toledo, Ohio, I was disappointed and surprised to hear that the Toledo sort facility is scheduled to close it's doors on September 1st, 2011. A large portion of the flying our company has is for BAX, so I'm sure this is going to affect a lot of us significantly. BAX officially states that the fuel cost has played a large role in their decision to get out of the air freight side and expand their ground transportation side (i.e. trucking freight). They claim that trucking the freight holds the largest opportunity for growth because of the cheaper operating costs.
