We have had this truck (Sleeper berth semi) since March. Absolutely no problems until August. Threw away the mattress, sprayed. Only relief is cold weather. My husband gets bit much worse than me but how do we cure a truck? Have gone to motel twice, washed, cleaned, sprayed, spread vicks and absorbine jr around. Never saw any bugs, parts, anything like that except very recently one small beetle-like thing, black body, red head. Help!

They're hard to find even in the best of circumstances. A truck seems like it might be even harder-- lots of nooks and crannies in a small space.
You may be able to have the truck tented and gassed (for example with Vikane -- sulfuryl fluoride -- if available in your area) or treated using thermal methods.
Professional spray and dust treatments might work but seem tricky, given the space you're working with.
Try and figure out if you're being repeatedly exposed also -- if you get thermal or Vikane, you do not want to reinfest yourself.

Are you using Vick's and Absorbine on yourselves or your truck? As you're mobile, consider shopping for a good PCO and driving over for an inspection and/or treatment. Considering its size, it should probably be easier to thermal a truck than a home. But do verify that what you are in fact dealing with is BB on your truck.
