Given:

Distance traveled in the first hour = 75 km

Distance traveled in the second hour = 33 km

Formula Used:

Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time

Calculation:

Total distance traveled = 75 km + 33 km

Total distance traveled = 108 km

Total time = 1 hour + 1 hour

Total time = 2 hours

Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time

Average speed = 108 km / 2 hours

Average speed = 54 km/h

The average speed of the truck is 54 km/h.
