Their portfolio includes companies specializing in automated agriculture, safe and affordable air travel, software for automated fleets, e-commerce for vehicle dealerships, and driver safety analytics. In January 2025, Trucks VC launched its third fund, Trucks Venture Fund 3 LP, closing on $70 million in commitments.

Trucks typically aims to obtain about 10% ownership stakes as part of its strategy. Trucks VC has a history of successful exits, including the acquisition of Bear Flag Robotics by John Deere, the listing of Joby Aviation on the NYSE under the ticker JOBY, the acquisition of NuTonomy by Delphi, the acquisition of Roadster by CDK Global, and the acquisition of Zendrive by Intuit.
