How to become a lumper?

A high school diploma and strong physical stamina are all you need to become a lumper. You should receive on-the-job training, in which you learn unloading, packaging, and other warehouse responsibilities. Your duties require you to have excellent hand-eye coordination and the ability to lift and carry heavy items. Some employers expect you to be forklift certified and have a commercial driver's license to use and dock the company truck. Drivers must pass written, vision, and vehicle maneuvering skills tests. The company usually assists with licensing. Other qualifications include the ability to understand written and verbal instructions and the ability to work in a fast paced environment.
