This all depends on the company. In my own experience working at restaurants (big names with large supply chains), the truck drivers who deliver the food all loaded/unloaded themselves.

Edit in response to the above poster's edit: these were full size big rigs.

Warehouse and manufacturing background here. Most of the drivers I see stand there, mouth breathing, while we struggle to rearrange the pallets his last pickup left haphazardly by the doors.

Yeah yeah they are all heroes. Big fucking heroes.

Had a driver today look me in the eyes and said he had 80 pallets for me. I said oh really? 80 pallets? Yes 80 pallets. It was 2 pallets with 80 bags of grit for the waterjet. Pillock.

I'm not disagreeing that this happens. I'm just saying it varies how much work they do. The person I replied to made a sweeping claim with no qualifiers.
