I've done a few loadie trips to the darks of Africa, and wouldn't contemplate doing MX work while the aircraft was being loaded/unloadedn (and that's not just because I'm useless with a spanner). Many a time I've hardly had the time to complete the loadsheet on paper, basically only providing the stick monkeys with a TOW, MAC% and a stab trim before take-off and then completing the paperwork just prior to TOD, since turing your back to the loading/unloading operation for just a second might very well end in tears and long ladders.

But I'm sure the idea looks brilliant on a spreadsheet
