    Hmm, does your MC has any special characteristic? Usually it goes around like this.
    Create an MC. Add basic background (salaryman, otaku, normal high school student), and give them somewhat relate-able or heartbreaking experience. Made a bishoujo/children character appear. MC will have the impulse to safe them from nearest rampaging truck, and you got a prologue ; )

    I agree with Shio, who is the character, why is he there, what is he doing, the rest should follow

    MC jumps in front of a truck on purpose because he wants to go to a fantasy world. .Wait. That's not normal. @Shio is right, you need more information on your MC. The whole process of them getting hit can be used as a fairly handy source of motivation or a plot driver later on depending on what happened and who the MC was before they got hit.

    If you want really generic just have him/her walking back from a convenience store with some milk or cigarettes or something and he/she tries to save a cat, child, or young woman who isn't looking or something and gets hit in the process.

    Young otaku-like >instert name here< was minding his own shit (jacking off) in his room, when all of a sudden, a wild truck-san crashed into his house, killing him with his dick exposed for public to see. Later he was known as "that guy with his dick on the public tv"

    Not creative much, but I'd give myself a solid 5/7

    A-san is a truck driver in XX Company. One day his truck involved with accident, another truck driver, which is later found fallen asleep, hitting his truck and making him losing control.

    A-san and his truck fall into a ravine. They both reincarnated.

    I don't know. That sounds boring. Maybe you should spend more time describing the truck. Try reading trucks magazines for infos. Or one of those murrican tv shows.

    he had to take an emergency poop at a porta potty and a truck crashed into it.
    ... i guess you probably want him to know how he died.
    how about he's waiting in line at an anime convention and a truck comes flying at him.
    or maybe he saw a legendary figurine/merchandise in the middle of the street and went to rescue it from he fate of a rampaging truck and sacrifices himself for it.

    From a shabby wagon to a big rigs. I think you'd do well with an American Dream theme. Make sure there are a lot of freedom in it too.

    make him think the world is boring and he wants to die with a bang,
    so he goes in front of a truck.
    he dies thinking humanity are beings that satisfies themselves with their DNA configuration and brain-cell procession.
    he dies thinking that human's life is meaningless and futile and his decision to suicide is genius.

    he gets clear-headed in his next life rebirth and comes to accept that humanity being a slave to their body is not really a bad thing.

    Mc, threw with life, jumbs off a building, and truck-san, somehow gets him in mid air, and is reincarnated, as a heavenly angel truck that governs all the truck-san's, that lead to reincarnation, in the universes.
