I don't know where you live it appears this varies on local police policy; this is from San Francisco's Transit Authority:
"Yellow zones are for active freight loading and unloading only by commercial vehicles. Check nearby signs or stencils on the curb for effective hours.
Vehicles without a commercial license plate parked in a yellow zone will be cited and can be towed if the sign specifies it is a tow zone.
Six-Wheel Truck Loading Zones are indicated by signs only. When signed for six wheels or more, such trucks can use the zone. Six wheel loading zones can typically be distinguished by their red-capped meters in metered areas.
Yellow zones are typically used for large businesses or properties that receive or deliver a lot of shipments."
This is what the city of Berkeley Says:
"Curbs marked by yellow are for commercial use and are for loading and unloading merchandise or materials. These zones are enforced from 7:00 AM to 6:00PM, Monday through Saturday except when otherwise designated by appropriate signs. Some metered parking spaces may be yellow zones during certain hours. In order to use a yellow zone for up to (20) twenty minutes drivers must have any one of three requirements; 1) A City of Berkeley Business license decal affixed to the left rear bumper of the vehicle; 2) A marked commercial vehicle with logo or lettering;
3) Commercial plates issued by Department of Motor Vehicles. Drivers must be actively engaged in loading or unloading. Non commercial vehicles may load or unload passengers only for up to three minutes at a yellow curb."
