agree  Kim Metzger: 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.

Explanation:
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.
