Truck coloring pages aren’t just for kids — they’re also for adults who’ve always liked trucks but never got the chance to drive one. Regardless of how old you might be, trucks are pretty darn cool and charmingly nostalgic. Why? Because many of us first loved trucks when we were growing up. Remember the arm pump we used in the car as kids to signal truckers that we wanted them to blow their horn? It was also quite exciting during class trips (well, maybe not so much for the bus driver!). It’s hard to tell whether or not truckers actually liked this kind of engagement, but when they honked, it felt oddly empowering. Luckily, truck coloring pages are a lot less noisy.

Don’t worry, though; they’re just as fun for upcoming road trips. Print out a few truck coloring pages, grab the crayons, and boom — you have an instant distraction for kids for when you’re stuck in traffic. Here are 10 great prints to kick off your coloring shenanigans. And after you power through these pages, turn your attention to some other heavy machinery just waiting for your artistic touch with our airplane coloring pages, helicopter coloring pages, train coloring pages, and car coloring pages.

Uh oh! We suddenly feel the pressure to name all these different truck-like vehicles. It’s almost like Blippi is giving us a pop quiz. Let’s just say this truck would look fantastic in a bright red color. Shading it in will also give it a ton of dimension and make it more of a dramatic masterpiece.

This truck is also open for imagination, so don’t be afraid to experiment with a coloring page like this! Make the truck lilac in color or even a spring green. It may be uncommon on the road, but it doesn’t mean you can’t dream it up on paper.

OK, this one we know — this is a cab-over truck, best known for having a flattened “face.” They used to be fairly popular in the U.S. but aren’t manufactured as often anymore. Still, you may see a few on the road, especially for garbage collection. If you have metallic markers or crayons, this truck will look fabulous with a bit of sparkle.

This truck is hauling logs, and you can use your imagination to figure out why. Personally, we feel as if the person driving is going to start building a log cabin. Having the wood in the back gives you another excuse to add a little color and give this truck more purpose.
