How can I become a package handler?

Becoming a package handler requires few formal qualifications. Most employers prefer candidates with a high school diploma or GED certificate. At large facilities, packages are often moved using forklifts or trucks, and you must have a commercial driver’s license or forklift certification to qualify for these jobs. Other positive skills include being detail-oriented, familiarity with basic electronic scanning equipment, and good verbal communication skills. Your responsibilities routinely include lifting large packages, so you should have good physical strength and stamina.
