parallel data load using bcp

i did a parallel load into a single table using bcp from 2 machines. as
suggested in the docs i used the TABLOCK hint. as a result i observed that:
a) first all the data from machine1 is inserted. When this is finished then
all the data from machine2 is inserted
b) i don't see any parallelism in this . Is there any other way of acheiving
true paralellism.
NOTE: SQL Server is running on a dual cpu machine

Did you satisfy all the other requirements for parallel bulk loading?
Database is using BULK_LOGGED or SIMPLE recovery model and the destination
table does not have any indexes?

|||iam using Simple recovery model. the target table does not have any indexes
(and is empty). what are the other requirements for parallel bulk loading ?
