The truck is the name for the round ball on top of the flagpole. It serves to keep the flag from getting caught if wind flips it over the pole. There are a number of legends about what is inside the truck- a match to burn the flag, a razor blade to cut up the flag, a pistol cartridge for the last soldier, etc. Sorry- the ball is hollow. Nothing in there.
