Not knowing for sure what the situation is, I find myself making assumptions and asking myself questions, trying to guess what rest of the story is. They appear to be inside a large building. Shoveling coal or something off of a truck. There is not enough material on the floor for the truck to have been full. Perhaps there is a loader or some kind of machine, clearing the floor as the workers off load the material onto the ground. The hat and scarf/face covering make me wonder if the one on the truck is a woman. How long have they been working to get that far? Do they do that all day as trucks arrive? .... the list goes on

Obviously, the truck is not a dump truck. I wonder how much they save over renting a dump truck? It will take a while to empty that bed.

I think that it needs to be retitled...One man One woman Shovel.

Brilliant idea!

I immediately think of shoveling gravel out of a pickup.
This approach is almost instantaneous to put together, and so much easier on everyone.
You could use a steel coal sovel and just tie a rope where the blade meets the handle, and have one guy in the truck, one on the ground.
WAY easier on the backs of both - esp. as you get up near the cab.
