The truck should be ok. But the fuel if you have any is another story. As long as the truck has not touched fuel then there will be no residue from the fuel that might alert a bomb sniffing dog or any other bomb sniffing devices. But I would call the airlines and make sure. Any and all residue from the fuel will more then likely be caught and you may be searched along with other things. Just call the airlines before just to make sure. As you might have to miss your flight or throw it out at the airlines if you dont check with them. And I dont think you want to do either.

The airlines would know best so as I said two or three times already, check with them. And you will know for sure what you can and cant carry on.
