    I don't even know how it would work if two trucks came at the same time. Well I do know, but I don't know how the truck would know

If you know, the truck would most likely eventually know by the programmer talking to you (or someone else who knows) and writing code to implement the procedure you describe. There are whole teams of people at NASA (and doubtless other places) that do this kind of study all the time, where they sit down and talk to the people in the system and document exactly what they are doing, either to optimize the human process or to automate it.
