It centers on Jack Truck and his best friends, Dump Truck Dan and Max the Monster Truck, along with the rest of the truck gang, as they roar, romp and power their way through Trucktown. The group of friends have never met a wall they couldn’t smash or a road or bridge they couldn’t build – and smash again.
