"Perhaps I should have sprung for some slightly better shields and armor..."

Get the hell out of there and find another depot.

EDIT:

Oh, and Engage Unreality Field.
You did not shoot at an alien spaceship disguised as a truck. You did not see an alien spaceship disguised as a truck. Everything you saw since the point in time you arrived here was just a daydream. The cargo bay master was calling in a false alarm because... he didn't like my hat. Yeah, he didn't like my hat. Wait, I don't have a hat... He didn't like my eye color. He's an optopigmentist. You will now return to your normal day.

[Terrahex]

I will now shoot the truck drivers.... I'm evil

[Mullet Master]

Day 1.4) Trailer Park/Depot
Nobody specified those as day 2 actions, So I will put them on Day 1!

Spoiler: Marty (click to show/hide)

1: ROCK MULLET : [6(+2)=8] Marty uses the finest in badger oil to preen his mullet to a magnificent level. He starts wailing on the air guitar in his front lawn and the citizens of the trailer park gather for a concert. He played so well and his mullet was so bitchin' that he gains 2 groupies.  (Score +1)
2: GROUPIE DRIVE TO DEPOT : 6(-1)=5 Cindy and Candi play rock paper scissors for who is going to drive. Cindy wins. She does a good job of getting to the depot quickly.
3: LOAD CARGO : 2(-1)=1 Cindy barely can back the truck into the cargo stall and knocks off the rear bumper when the truck collides with the dock. (-2 TH) You are loaded with a cargo of rarity 6 - Sewage from the toxic chemical processing plant. The supervisor at the depot looks up from his clipboard and says , "Are you sure you know how to drive that thing? You need a hazmat liscense, you know. " (Score +1 for rare cargo)

Spoiler: Terrahex (click to show/hide)

1: GET SHOTGUN 5: Terrahex gets the shotgun from the trailer without any incident. It has one shell in it.
2: DRIVE (TO DEPOT) 6: You get in your truck and haul serious ass. In fact, you do a squealing burnout all the way from the trailer park to the depot - which happens to take you by the local donut eatery. This attracts the attention of cops (+1 score) (-1 truck health, tire wear)
3: AVOID POLICE (from over-success of 6)  6: You are forced to jump your truck over a hay bale to avoid the local police. (+1 score)  (-1 truck health,  suspension wear)
4: GET STUFF(CARGO) 4-1(# of turns) You successfully drive your truck into the depot. You have picked up a cargo with rarity of  6[/q], which is contraband (Pirated Japanese Tentacle-related DVDs Dubbed in Russian ). (+1 score for rare cargo)
5: GET AMMO 3-2 = 1 You go to a locally owned farmers co-op and purchase expensive ammo. 2 cash for 25 shells! At least it is healthier for the environment!
6: SHOOT OTHER TRUCKERS 6[/n]-3(turns)= 3 You see somebody run a police roadblock. You decide to start shooting other truckers, so you take a shot at him as he drives past. You do 1 damage to him as you shoot out his drivers side window and glass fragments hit his arm!  (+1 score for attacking other truckers)

Spoiler: Xegeth (click to show/hide)

1: STEAL TRUCK 6+2(technical)=8: You have a truck already. You steal another truck. However, this causes a paradox, as you are only allowed to use one truck in this game. You spend the afternoon welding two trucks together, makeing the unique artifact DoubleTruck. This is two truck cabs welded together with a single trailer out baCK. At this point, it is more reminiscent of a locomotive instead of a truck. This thing is going to burn aloooot of gas. (+2 score)
2: DRIVE TO DEPOT 5-2(can't drive)=3: You drive to the depot without a hitch. 
3: GET CARGO 4-2=2 Well, the DoubleTruck is almost impossible to drive, but you get it close enough to the dock for them to load it. It is loaded with "Japanese Car Recalled Floormats", a cargo of rarity 4.
4: FIND MARTY 1-1=0 You can't find him. You drive around all day and all night looking for Marty. You run out of gas pretty quickly and it takes 2 cash to fill it back up.
Name: Xegeth

Weakness: Can't drive

DoubleTruck : Two semi truck tractors welded together. It has two motors so it's going to burn alot of gas.

Spoiler: Bob (click to show/hide)

1: DRIVE TO DEPOT: 5 : You drive to the depot following all human-dictated laws and regulations. You are angered by being forced to move at 6.454 × 10^-7 astronomical units per hour.
2: GET CARGO 2-1 (alien) =1 : You pull your spaceship into the human docking-bay and demand a suitable cargo from the human cargo-master. The human cargo-master is confused when you ask for Quad-phase power rectifiers and Strontium fluid containment units. He says something about a "Terry-ist" and calls in reinforcements on his communicator-device. A large military contigent shows up.  (+1 score for failure)
3: FIGHT! 3 against roll 4 for human infantry. The human military broadsides your spacecraft with primative weapons. You fight them off using your superior ultra-laser discharge weaponry, but your shields have taken some damage (-2 truck health)
4: ESCAPE 1 -1(# of turns taken) = 0) :  You crank your warp drive to 11 and hope to get the hell out of dodge. With a loud "KABOOM" your main engine shatters into a million pieces. You'll never be able to fix this with earth technology - there's no going back home now. (TH -8) (score + 1, awful roll)
5: ENGAGE UNREALITY FIELD 3 - 2(# of turns) = 1 : There's only enough energy in the ultracapacitors of your spacecraft to fire the unreality field once. You fire it, and it is successful, but now you ship is completely unpowered. Worse, it's beginning to catch on fire. The good news is the humans have all forgot what happened, and the fire will destroy your truck to prevent the alien technology from reaching the public. You are going to have to find a new truck!

Spoiler: Urist (click to show/hide)

1: MAKE TRUCK FLY 2 You don't know how to weld, so you duct tape some wings made out of plywood onto the side of your truck. You are unable to get the truck airborne even at a speed of 88 miles per hour, so you decide to jump over a conviently placed ramp at a construction site. Your truck goes airborne.... and hits the ground hard, causing pieces of the suspension to fly out everywhere. You probably didn't need that spring anyway. (-3 truck health) (+1 score)
2: GET SHOTTY 3 You now have a shotgun. Double barreled, single shell in it.
3: RUN OVER COPS 6+2 = 8 You see a large group of cops walking down the street as part of a parade. You sucessfully run over all of them, and now you are most wanted in the country! Seriously, you better lay low for a while. An attack helicopter from the national guard is en-route to your location. (+2 score for excessive success)
4: DRIVE TO DEPOT 6-1(# of turns taken)+2 = 7 You are able to reach the depot in record time and have completely lost the national guard helicopter. This is great, but since they didn't find you they are quadrupling search efforts. Tomorrow there's going to be a dozen helicopters looking for you. 
5: GET CARGO 6-2 (# of turns) = 4 You manage to convice the supervisor to let you take some cargo, even though your name and face is all over the news. He has a bunch of "organic matter" he wants dumped by an "upstanding citizen". You suspect it is bodies, of rarity 5. You load it up and head out.
6: GO TO SPACE CENTER 1 -3 (# of turns) +2 = 0 You get on the the biggest interstate, in the middle of rush hour, and you've got a truck full of bodies. You put the pedal to the floor - and notice there's a road block. With alot of cars. Seeing little other option, it's time to run it. You're a good driver so you ram it just right to do minimal damage to your truck - but Terrahex is waiting there with a shotgun. Terrahex rolls 6(-3) and hits you for 1 damage as you drive through the roadblock. (-1 HP, -2 TH, +1 score for outlawing)

Get away from all this ass-hattery.

[Schilcote]

Oh snap!

Luckily, I'm a Stephinian. I can MAKE power! Hopefully, I have some cash. If not... dumpster dive.

Go to the nearest purveyor of electronics components. Construct an arc cannon (electricity gun, stungun on steroids).

Day 2.
"Tonight, on WNFJ News. Truckers have gone mad! Yesterday afternoon an insane truck driver has ran over 23 police officers. Another truck driver has turned vigilante and has taken a shot with a shotgun at the first trucker! The national guard has mobilized in efforts to stop these madmen . More at 11."

Spoiler: Marty (click to show/hide)

2: DRIVING : 1(-1) Cindy falls asleep while driving and the truck careens over an embankment and destroys several trees. The truck is an absolute mess... the hood is ruined, no piece of glass remains in it, and the engine is now smoking. (TH-6)(score +1, crashing!)

1: FIND STUFF TO STEAL: 6 You see a man delivering alcoholic beverages to the local gas station. You pull up your truck, and you start loading it with booze. But wait, aren't you an alcoholic?
2: STEAL BOOZE : 4 You steal 4 crates of booze, of 40 cash value. You'll have to find a place to fence this stuff.
3: ESCAPE : 6 You sucessfully pull this caper without getting caught. You drive off, and to celebrate you decide to break open some booze. You down a fifth of whiskey and before you know it...(+1 score, plan comes together)

1: FIND ROAD TANKER: 2 You spend the better part of the morning camping outside of truck stops hoping you see a tanker. You don't see one.
2: FIND ROAD TANKER: 5 You finally see one parked at fuel depot - getting refueled. Jackpot!
3: STEAL ROAD TANKER: 2 After everyone leaves for lunch, you try to get into the tanker truck to steal it . Too bad Jimbo McAsterson decided to come back, you're now going to have to fight for it.
4: FIGHT WITH JIMBO! 5(-1/turns)=4 vs. Jimbo's 3. You push Jimbo out of the way, and he comes back with a quick roundhouse kick. Too bad he's not Chuck Norris. You shove him over and jump into the truck and lock the doors.
5: ESCAPE WITH TANKER 1(-2/turns)=-1 This is a catastrophe. You hit the accelerator on the tanker truck and try to get the hell out of the fuel depot - and fail. You drive the tanker straight into a large fuel tank and cause a colossal explosion.

1:FIND ELECTRONICS STORE 4: This is easy, you walk across the street to a TV/VCR Repair place. You feel as though you can get all of the components necessary here.
2:BUILD ARC CANNON 2(+2 (skill))=4: This should have been easier. Why don't the Earthlings have trilinear phase rectifiers and ultracapacitors of four hundred farad capacity? What a bunch of simpletons. You have built the arc cannon to minimal specifications. The discharge is puny, but overall the cannon looks impressive to earthlings. Also you were way over budget and have spent all your earth-money.

1: AVOID HELICOPTERS 3(+2/skill)=5 : The national guard has dispatched a dozen helicopters to your area to find you. Luckily you drive across NASA airspace and have avoided them. You arrive at the gates of the space shuttle center.
2: PUT CARGO IN SHUTTLE 4: You drive your truck right up next to the space shuttle. Several confused looking NASA ground technicians just stare at you, and then you say "It's provisions, it belongs in the shuttle. This is your payload, dumbasses!". They look at you with blank stares, and then one makes a call on the radio. One of them says "MIssion Control says this isn't on the space shuttle... maybe you are at the wrong place?"
3: RUN OVER GROUND TECHNICIANS 3(+2/skill)=5  Noone will stand in your way. You run over their leader and that sends them scurrying. Nobody pisses off a man with 18 wheels and a drinking habit. Hell, the whole country is out to get you anyway.
4: LOAD CARGO IN SHUTTLE 3(-1/turns)= 2 You don't know how to get all that crap up there, so you start lugging a single crate up the stairs. About halfway up, you get tired and give up.
5: AVOID SECURITY 1(-2/turns) = -1 You are tired, and you're thirsty. So you drive your truck over to the nearest soft drink machine, and just as you are about to purchase a nice cold beverage, you find yourself at gunpoint. Guess what? You've driven yourself over to the guard shack. So you're in trouble now. (+1 score, failure)
6: RESIST ARREST 11(-3/turns) = -2 Apparently all governmental agencies have issued a shoot on sight order. You get shot in the arm for 3 damage. Next turn you will be in a standoff with 3 guards outside of the NASA guardshack. Better check your ammo. (+1 score, abject failure)

Humm... I seem to be in a bit of a jam. Still, I will not abandon my morals quite yet (there's also the fact that committing a felony on a low-tech planet such as Earth without having a really good reason earns you a one-way trip through a wormhole to Hell).

I attempt to negotiate with a loaner of funds. I aim for 10,000 units of currency with which to purchase and outfit a new vehicle. Luckily, all my documents are expertly forged by the Stephinian government, so I don't need to pay for certifications or such.

[Terrahex]

I will create some sort of lazor gun using parts from a parked car. If I do make the gun, I test it out on a civilian.

[Xegeth]

I attempt to convince the doctors that I'm covered by the NHS so I don't have to pay them, and I explain that I'm also eligable for being turned into a cyborg. For free.

Edit: These are my turn 3 actions.

[Realmfighter]

Get to another town, rock out my mullet for more groupies/free repairs.
