Modern trucks have cell modems tied to a private APN that are used for updating vehicle firmware & doing telematics. They also typically have a route to the internet that provides a WiFi hotspot in the cab.
Depending where the fault was in the telco stack, that APN may have still been functional
Not saying this was a significant resolution, but at least a possibility.
