How do you become a shipping and receiving clerk in New Jersey?
Most shipping and receiving clerk positions in New Jersey require a high school diploma or GED and on-the-job training, with no state-issued license needed for the role itself. Employers in New Jersey's busy distribution corridors along the Turnpike and I-78 look for candidates who have completed a forklift certification course, which many vocational schools and community colleges in the state offer. Starting in a general warehouse associate role is the most common path into the position.
Which companies hire shipping and receiving clerks in New Jersey?
New Jersey shipping and receiving clerk roles are posted by DSV, Prevost, and Collectors and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New Jersey's position as a major East Coast distribution hub means large retailers, pharmaceutical companies, and third-party logistics providers are among the most consistent sources of openings in the state.

Completing a forklift certification through a program at Middlesex College or a county vocational school gives candidates a clear edge over other entry-level applicants.
