have a trucker drive to the point of loading ...
is another way of putting it and perhaps this is easier to understand

: yes, pull through is like pull up to - or drive through; the loading point is not right at the entrance

Get a driver with a truck to drive the truck on to the work site
Have to guess this!

: Yes, I think "pull through" is short for pull his truck up to and through the site. To "pull your truck up to" is the more common phrase.

It sounds as if once conveyors, bins and hoppers are in action, a person driving a truck should drive it through or up to? a loading dock (perhaps) where the truck can then be loaded. It is not clear from the information given through what the truck should be given. A gate? Or perhaps it should be "have the driver approach the loading zone," something like that.
