Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'truck' (a large cargo vehicle) with 'dealer' (a person or business that sells goods), yielding a business or person who sells trucks. This noun–noun/compound pattern is common in English and across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Truck dealer is a compound of truck and dealer, where dealer means someone who 'buys and sells' goods. Imagine a yard full of trucks and a person making deals, and that picture explains why truck dealer means a business or person who 'buys and sells' trucks.
