The meaning 'a person who drives a truck' is directly and compositionally derived from 'truck' (large vehicle carrying cargo) + 'driver' (person who drives).

Truck driver is a plain picture: a person who drives a truck, a big vehicle for carrying goods, and driver names the person who does the driving. So, the phrase means 'a person whose job is to drive a truck to transport goods'.
