With an Ork Trukk, a mob of up to 12 Ork boys can quickly close in on an opposing army, or a Warboss or Nobz Mob can also be ferried around. The main use of the Trukk is to get the Ork army into close range of its opponent very fast.
There are several advantages to using Trukks this way. Other than being very fast, Trukks can also be outfitted to work as moving big shoota or rocket launcha platforms. A very nice upside of the Trukk is that Orks can simply load into the nearest Trukk, whether that was their original transportation or not. This is not the case with other Warhammer 40K armies.
Another considerable advantage to Trukks is they are often open-topped, which prevents the problem of having exits for troops being blocked.
They can be very effective against opposing shooty units since they can allow the transported Ork soldiers to tie those enemies up in hand to hand combat earlier in the conflict, thus also possibly giving following Ork foot unit a better chance to close the distance.
Trukk armor is 10 all the way around, so they can be very difficult to damage. Trukks can be converted to whatever need the clan has, whether more room for transportation or firepower. Trukks can also be outfitted with a ram in front, a boarding plank and a wrecking ball. However, Ork trukks rarely look the same, so the invention of the player can take over the design.
A trukk can serve as a headquarters, a roving rocket launcha or as a way to get troops into close combat very quickly.
