I'd be amazed if they could manage that. My guess is it will be a smaller truck for local use and not a big over the road rig. Like a single axle cab/chassis truck for local delivery.
The problem is those rigs need to carry big loads and big battery packs will take up a lot of its capacity to carry a load.
I'd suspect we'll see lighter trucks like those used by ups ground or FedEx freight or the other common carriers. That alone is thousands and thousands of trucks on the road everyday.
