It came with whatever it was specified to come with when the purchase order was made. Could be a 9 speed, 10 speed, 13 speed, 15 speed, 18 speed, 5x4, 6x4, etc.
For a North American truck, most of your average fleet trucks will run either a 9 or 10 speed transmission. Owner/operator and heavy haulers tend to have more gears - 13, 15, or 18 (15 speeds are a bit uncommon, though).
