If you have to build a new table, there should be a unique value that all your Trucks have. If you make that unique value the Key field of your Trucks table; when when you import your Truck Inspections from a spreadsheet, you can import the [Related Truck] unique key value at the same time because you should already know the unique value of each truck. Otherwise, your key will be [Record ID#] and that will be harder to connect your records when importing, unless the place you compile your spreadsheet from has that Record ID# stored in it somewhere for your export-import process.
