Continental Tire DC/DHL Supply Chain

Facility info

Operations Drop and hook available Appointment scheduling required but expect significant delays beyond scheduled time Live loading times consistently 4-8 hours (heavily documented) Check-in: guard verifies seal number at gate, driver parks and checks in at shipping office Shipping office located behind propane tank (can be hard to find initially) Loading contingent on traffic light signal — must wait for "green light" before hookup Paperwork processing adds 30 minutes to 1+ hour Opens 5:30 am Staff sometimes redirect drivers between offices for drop/hook clarification Facility experience No overnight parking Clean restroom available Clean warehouse Shipping office staff generally courteous and helpful (some Spanish-speaking staff available) Gate guard less personable Few trucks present despite slow operations Lot capacity to park while waiting Truck parking 10 miles away at nearby truck stop (accessible via roundabout at DHL entrance) Bottom line Expect significant wait times for loading — plan for 4-8 hours minimum even with appointment. Drop and hook is straightforward operationally but loading speed is the consistent weak point.
