Technically no, because the truck is still in a forward motion. At work, when I spit off the back of a moving garbage truck in the opposite direction its moving in, it will catch up to me, not quite, but it still moves forward. But that also has wind factored in.
I will have to conduct this type of experiment at work, since im legally allowed to hang off a garbage truck going 40 mph... ill just have to toss a tennis ball backwards
