Still needs a driver to offload or load depending on cargo.
For now and for certain products.

Others not.

A load of milled lumber or sheet rock?

The technology is present today to load & off-load without humans.

Most of what actually goes to WalMart's stores?

Doable on both ends.

Not all trucks operate between nice, neat terminals and operate on nice, smooth interstates (not that most interstates even qualify as smooth). One prime example is lowboy trucks. They have to unload their loads in places like lumber yards, rail yards, job sites, quarries, or mines.
