The Holy DayZible:

The Book of Berezintinians:

Chapter 45:

Verse 17-27:

17; And yea, the forum apostles, whose names were Orlok, and LVG, and Boneboys, and Kichilron,

18; And SmashT, and sula, and others whose names I verily shant seek out,

19; Gathered at the foot of the Mount of Green to hear the sermon proclaimed from atop the great spire, that they might convey to the masses by speaking in incomprehensible tongues (which a man could only understand if huffing orange kittens) the sermon that was to be delivered.

20; And yea, the preacher did verily begin the sermon, which was to be about looting, and the farming of loot, and the gathering of loot, and the looting of the bodies of those who loot, and of the looting of the bodies of those who loot the bodies of those who loot, and of rotten kiwis, saying:

21; BEHOLD! Mine bretheren, be ye bandit or hero, or hopper, or seaker of trucks, or treater of broken limbs, or bambi, or Script Kidde (yea, even ye, script kiddie!), or that player we hath all seen, he who is named "Admin", or "Administrator"!

22; The LARD (no, not lord. LARD) hath spoken to mine ears, as I huffeth the orange kitten, because the orange kitten fuketh up the most, saying;

23; SEEKETH NOT, AND YEA SHALL FIND. OCCASIONALLY. BUT IF THOU DOST SEEKETH, THEE SHALL not FIND. INSTEAD YEA SHALL WANDER ENDLESSLY ACROSS THE BARREN EMPTY SERVER THAT I HATH SET ASIDE FOR THEE.

24; THOU SHALT WANDER FOR 40 KILLOMETERS AND 40 HOURS, AND STILL SHALLT THALL NOT FIND.

25; EVENTUALLY, IF THOU STILL SEEKETH, SHALT THALL FIND, BUT IT SHALL BE DAMAGEDETH, OR BADLY DAMAGEDETH.

26; IF THOU DOST SEEKETH, AND DOTH FIND, AND IT IS PRISTINE LIKE MY GLORY, THEN SHALL MY WRATH FIND THEE, AND SMITE THEE, THROUGH MY ACCOLYTE, THE MAN WHO HATH BEEN FOLLOWING THEE FOR A MILE.

27; IF THOU DOTH NOT SEEKETH, THAT WHICH YOU SEEKETH NOT, SHALT THEE FIND....EVENTUALLY.

Don't know why you're having such rotten luck...buddy and I normally find at least one truck every 3 DayZ sessions

Had a DayZ break are trucks permenant like tents?

 

Not yet, the trucks were only introduced very recently. The following topic by Eugen has the status quo on the vehicles that are in-game: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/215707-dayz-vehicles-first-implementation/

What's the point of having a truck? Except to advertise yourself to potential enemies.

Trucks are easy to find currently on west part of map. Friend and I keep jerry cans in our "hands" glitch, when we login we find a truck pretty quick usually, then fuel her up and tear across the map hitting 90% of heli spawns in under an hour.  Usually find 1-2 helis.  They make the map so small compared to running.

 

And actually did a full lap recently which only took about 15-20 minutes, from Pustoshka to Kamenka, all way way around East -> North -> back West on the Great Main Road, and then back down to Pustoshka via Lopatino and Vybor.  Drove right through all the big cities along the way.  There were about 15 people on the server, and we were looking for trouble, but didn't see one single person.  It's very possible people hear the truck coming and just hide in a building and watch it zip by.  It is rather intimidating, especially if you're without bullets.

Right now? Travel that doesn't... um.... make you sweaty? 

 

Eventually vehicles will be useful for multiple purposes just as they were in the Mod.

 

- Transport for a large group that is speedy(don't count on our movement speeds always remaining this artificially high).

 

- Travel that doesn't wear you out. In the Mod and Mods of the Mod running can use up hydration or fatigue you. Vehicles allow you to travel without that drawback.

 

- Travel with heavy gear. There is no weight system and there might not be, but eventually I suspect we will be seeing more building materials for the fortifications they intend to have. I doubt those will be small. Think about carrying multiple logs or jerry cans worth of gear. You might not be able to hump it on foot but with a truck you can fill that up with items. Consider having space to throw that military tent into until you get it where you want without sacrificing your backpack.

 

- Travel with protection. Some against the elements(actually it works for this against the rain right now, but not the cold) and some against bullets/melee. In the Mod most vehicles won't protect you against high power sniper rifles but might let you survive someone spraying the vehicle down. Some like the Vodnik could actually hold up against small arm fire for a bit allowing you to quickly pass dangerous areas. The downside is of course they make you a bigger target because of noise and size, but that is counteracted.

 

- Travel to a location that is hard to reach. Like the stupid island that I safely swam to with gear but then lost all my gear swimming off of. Not to mention the near hypothermia since I didn't have an axe when I swam back, or matches, and so had to quickly find things to make a fire.
