Systematic sampling.

Step-by-step explanation:

The systematic sampling is a type of random sampling in which a unit is selected from k units and after this every kth unit is selected until population is serially numbered from 1 to N arranged in a systematic way.

The statement shows that every 18th truck is selected until a sample of 60 trucks is selected. It shows that a systematic random sample is obtained with k=18 and thus, systematic sampling is used.
