What to Know About DHL in Independence, Oregon

Independence, Oregon, with its population of approximately 10,060, is located in Polk County and is known for its picturesque landscapes and small-town charm. The city is part of the greater Willamette Valley, which features a mix of rivers, agriculture, and rolling hills, presenting both opportunities and challenges for logistics. DHL's delivery operations in this region benefit from well-established road networks, including access to major highways like U.S. Route 51 and Oregon Route 219, which facilitate efficient transit times.
