They were called the "Deuce and a half" affectionately. They were 2 1/2 ton trucks that carried cargo and troops. There were also vehicles like the Jeep (nickname) and the half tracks and Canadian vehicles that could carry troops. Some troops hopped on tanks for a ride too.

Well, that depends on which classification. There were light trucks like the Willy (Jeep) MB used by American troops, Volkswagen Kubelwagen used by Germans and the GAZ-97 used by the Russians.

Germany mis-used their submarines. Over a million US servicemen reached Europe to defeat the Germans. The German subs never sank ONE troop carrying ship! They had their chance to sink Americans before they even reached the trenches. To make matters even worse...the Germans couldn't do it in TWO WARS! They never sunk ONE US TROOP SHIP in either war! If they had been smart...US troops would never have reached Europe...they'd been torpedo'd. Someone had pulled the wool over some historian's eyes.
