They don't eat pork. But they have no problem touching or handling it, many muslims even prepare pork in restaurants without eating it. So the idea is pretty stupid.

The Quran tells them to avoid eating swine, and the reasons are not entirely clear. Some muslims may interpret this as meaning the animal is unclean and will refuse to touch it, but that's pretty extreme. Generally they would have no problem touching it if the have to, they could even keep a pig as a pet if they wanted to. And it most definitely would not stop them from touching the vehicle.

At the very least it does send a clear message.

What's the message supposed to be? "Don't touch my truck if you're muslim" ?

Nope, they are not allowed to touch them to. Pig is absolute haram.

Touching a pig is not explicitly haram, if you've met people that won't touch a pig then they are following their own interpretation but it is not the norm.
