The word 'truck' is a noun and a verb (not an adjective).
The noun 'truck' is a word for a type of vehicle, a word for a thing.
A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
When the noun 'truck' is used to describe another noun, it's functioning as an attributive noun (also called a noun adjunct).
When used as an attributive noun, it forms a noun phrase(truck tire or truck route), a group of words based on a noun that functions as a unit in a sentence.
Examples of noun phrases in sentences:
A truck tire will cost more than a car tire. (subject of the sentence)
My dad hung a truck tire from the tree as a swing. (direct object)
Traffic on the truck route was congested. (object of the preposition)
The truck route is so busy because it's direct. (subject of sentence)
The present participle of the verb (trucking) and the past participle of the verb (trucked) also function as adjectives.
Examples:
My dad works for a trucking company.
The trucked shipment arrived before the air freight shipment.
