The challenge text says Station. This name was not displayed originally, it appeared later as a hint I presume.

So there are letters and a zero on the truck door :

XGJZWEXFPZYPQ QNXFJQLJXGC0X HJZRPZXAQRHXZ TYMYXQEZRZTTK

The picture name is convey.jpg. So these letters are probably linked to conveying something or a way to convey…

Lets say, 0 is a separator, so we have these letters :

XGJZWEXFPZYPQQNXFJQLJXGC XHJZRPZXAQRHXZTYMYXQEZRZTTK

The second line has 3 more letters, lets make groups of 3 letters…

XGJ ZWE XFP ZYP QQN XFJ QLJ XGC XHJ ZRP ZXA QRH XZT YMY XQE ZRZ TTK

This is absolutely not familiar to me but searching a group of letters and station (the hint word), sent me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IATA-indexed_railway_stations

And trains are a good way to convey something…

XGJ: Cobourg railway station, Canada
ZWE: Antwerpen-Centraal railway station, Antwerp, Belgium
