Question

What are the people called that load up parcels on to vans when the vans are back at the couriers depot, and also what age would you have to be to work there?, and how would you get a job there?

Thanks

Answer 1

I would suggest driver.

Since the driver has to deliver the parcels s/he will want to organise his/her load in delivery order, the last thing s/he wants is some goon stuffing everything in and going for a smoke.

As these jobs involve lifting and there are restrictions on under 18s lifting I would suggest you would need to be 18.

As other respondents say there are better jobs.

Answer 2

Drivers - you have to load your own vehicle, multi drop delivery is not the easiest job especially if you are a temp;  but if you think this is the job for you join a driving agency, after a couple of weeks you could well be offered a full time job

Answer 3

warehouse men (people) , you can work there streight from school , simply apply for a job when one comes up or write to the company asking if they have any positions available.

Answer 4

well the ones who work at my local DHL are called Dave, theres a couple of Steves, if I recall theres an Andy, I think there might be a Ranjit, but dont hold me to that, hope Ive helped !!

Answer 5

warehouse operatives....distinct from order pickers who collect whatever it is. You could also be a loader. 16 would be the minimum age, but really....aim higher than manual labour!

Couriers tend to have to fill their own vans as well as drive them, so for that you would need to be 17.

Answer 6

pickers and packers

16 years old

Set your sights higher my friend
