For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.'Truck' has meant 'odds and ends' since the 1700s. For example, waiting-staff had to clear away the 'truck' after a meal...ie not just the crockery and cutlery but also any waste food and other debris. As a result, the word took on the meaning of 'trash/rubbish'.
I guess, therefore, that your example sentence more or less amounts to saying: "Don't talk rubbish!" Personally, I have never heard the word so used, so it may well be that Norfolk is the only area in which this meaning still applies.
