You need to understand what is stopping them. If there not set up to unload the truck and they run into problems that they should of known before hand then thats a different problem then if they just stop caring and move slow.
Make sure not any one person is doing most of the work. If market is heavy the person next to him should be helping or the person across if its like my store will handle the style repacks so they just focus on market.

Its hard to diagnose the problem for you. Theres no magical way to make people work harder. Find the inefficiencies and if that is people are slacking replace them.
