I have been playing trukks in my Ork army in the last few weeks, and the guys at the local game store have been allowing a 4+ cover save when I run them flat out. Last night, I was actually reading the rules, and found that this cover-save rule applies to skimmers but not other fast vehicles. It kills me, but I'm pretty sure we've been doing this wrong, unless there is some supplemental language elsewhere than where I've been looking.

Question: Can you direct me to rules regarding trukks moving flat out gain cover saves?

No, they do not gain cover saves. Only skimmers can gain a cover save from going flat out.

Trukks do not gain flat out cover saves, since as you point out only fast skimmers have the cover save. Trukks are fast, but not skimmers. Therefore trukks, while able to move up to 18" to during a flat out move, do not get a cover save.

Bummer! Here's the killer: I was starting to feel smarter than the combined wisdom of the Internet regarding KFF big meks, questioning their need with trukks if flat out gives them the save. Oh well.

Trukks aren't fast veichles. Therefore it cannot go flat out

I suspect you are reading a different codex than the rest of us. Trukks are indeed Fast vehicles. Though they are not skimmers.

Paint them red and they're VERY fast vehicles, just not very sturdy ones..

Trukks are Fast, Open Topped, Capacity 12
