Suggestions for a trucker-themed party, please.
Hand out party customized trucker hats. Also hand out empty gatorade bottles for the guys to piss in.

Pound Red Bulls, litter the floor with snack wrappers and peanut shells, and serve lots of deliciously greasy diner/truck stop food. Play Merle Haggard. Have the girls dress like lot lizards.

Is the party at a residence, outdoors, club, etc.?
Depending on location and budget, try to recreate a truckstop atmosphere -- maybe a rack of $1.99 Best of John Tesh-type cassettes, XXL American flag shirts, one of those warming racks with hot dogs rotating on spindles under heat lamps.

Oh, and if possible someone should come as Large Marge.

If my cross-country trips on truck routes are any indication, any proper trucker's stop has a glory hole

After the party, tell everyone that they have to take a six hour nap at your place before they can get back on the road to head home, due to Federal Trucker Party Regulations.

Considering the jugs of pee epidemic, I think you should get a bunch of gallon jugs and use them to serve lemonade, or better yet some sort of alcoholic lemonade type drink.

I once worked at a truck stop. Here are some ideas based on my experience:
Scatter a bunch of Hustler magazines all over the place
Next to the toilet, write the following poem: "Here I sit, on the pooper, giving birth to a [your state] State Trooper." (this was written in our bathrooms about once a week, along with a description of what J.B. Hunt stood for which I will not repeat here)
Under that, write "Love to suck trucker cock. Kenworth rig, plate # 999-xyz. 8:00PM tuesday"
Under that, write "fucking queer ^"
Under that, write "your the queer, fag."
Instead of "hello", walk up to them and say "Coffee." This is apparently how truckers say "hello" to truck stop cashiers.
Smoke. Constantly.

The last time I was at a truck stop, I spied an open jar of Vaseline with a rubber glove next to it in the parking lot. Might make a lovely centerpiece.

Perhaps the story of the Porkchop Express would make for good background noise? After Large Marge, of course.

Maybe someone's already said it, but you absolutely MUST get that pair of naked girl silhouettes up somewhere. If you're good with your hands, you could probably make 'em out of tinfoil over cardboard. I'd google for a link, but I'm afraid of what I'd find.

OK, I couldn't stop myself from googling.
How 'bout a "mudflap girl" for one bathroom and one of THESE for the other bathroom?

In the vein of some of the other suggestions: Mike & Ikes in a box labeled "Trucker's Choice".

Hang on a sign on your bathroom door that says "Free shower with minimum purchase of 50 gallons of fuel."
