After reading the OP again I change to truck. He is already on the highway and is staying on the highway. He should have right a way
This. As long as the truck doesn't have a stop sign or red light, sounds like he has the right of way since he's on the highway already.

A lot of people don't follow that rule of the road.

What does this have to do with Hitler in Argentina?

U-turns can be a tricky deal, but probably the truck.
Any chance we can get a google maps shot of where this took place?

§123. Stop signs and yield signs; penalties for violations
A. Preferential right of way at an intersection may be indicated by stop signs or yield signs.
B. Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal, every driver and operator of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection. After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles which have entered the intersection from another highway or which are approaching so closely on said highway as to constitute an immediate hazard.
C. At a four-way stop intersection, the driver of the first vehicle to stop at the intersection shall be the first to proceed. If two or more vehicles reach the four-way stop intersection at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.
D. The driver or operator of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions, or shall stop if necessary, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, in the event there is no crosswalk, at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway. Having slowed or stopped in this manner, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian legally crossing the roadway on which he is driving, and to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard.
E.(1) Any person who is found guilty of or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to a violation of the provisions of this Section shall be subject to the following penalties:
(a) If the violation results in the injury of another person, the offender shall be fined not less than two hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars and may be subjected to a driver's license suspension for a period up to ninety days, or both.
(b) If the violation results in the serious bodily injury of another person, the offender shall be fined not less than five hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars and may be subjected to a driver's license suspension for a period up to one hundred eighty days, or both.
(c) If the violation results in the death of another person, the offender shall be fined not less than one thousand dollars nor more than five thousand dollars and may be subjected to a driver's license suspension for a period up to three hundred sixty days, or both.
(d) In addition to the fines and penalties set forth in Subparagraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Paragraph, whoever is responsible for these violations shall be subject to the following penalties:
(i) If the violation results in serious bodily injury of another person as defined in Paragraph (2) of this Subsection, the offender may be subjected to imprisonment up to six months.
(ii) If the violation results in the death of another person, the offender may be subject to imprisonment up to twelve months.
(2) For purposes of this Section, "serious bodily injury" shall mean a bodily injury which involves unconsciousness, extreme physical pain, or protracted and obvious disfigurement, protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty, or a substantial risk of death.
A. Preferential right of way at an intersection may be indicated by stop signs or yield signs.
B. Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal, every driver and operator of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection. After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles which have entered the intersection from another highway or which are approaching so closely on said highway as to constitute an immediate hazard.
C. At a four-way stop intersection, the driver of the first vehicle to stop at the intersection shall be the first to proceed. If two or more vehicles reach the four-way stop intersection at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.

The car at the stop sign should yield right of way to the truck on the highway, assuming no lights.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 10:19 am to pensacola
Truck has to yield to the car. Most won't though.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 10:22 am to pensacola
Whichever vehicle I'm driving. If that's neither, it doesn't matter.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 10:23 am to pensacola
Right turn at stoplight must yield to normal traffic.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 10:23 am to pensacola
At most siganlized intersections U-turns yield to right turns.

Scenario I had in mind had lights. There's a intersection like this where I work. There's a sign that states the u turn vehicle yields to other traffic when making a u turn.

How did it take this long to get that answer? Vehicle 1 already on the road that vehicle 2 seeks to enter has the right of way over V2 absent other circumstances (signage, etc.), correct?

That's stupid. If it's two 4 lane highways than yes. OP didn't state that was the case. The truck isn't going to attempt to u turn when light is red. If there eve is one. That case he is just yielding to traffic headed west bound. Not people that would have a stop sign turn right( also westbound)

The light turns green for both at the same time. The lane is made to turn left but allows a u turn only if the vehicle yields.

Well assuming that the OP meant the only signage is the side street has a stop sign, then the car at the stop sign yields to the truck in the intersection.
I used to live on a divided boulevard and had this happen all the time. Most right-turners assume the other person is turning left and start to go, but they are supposed to yield to u-turns as well. Had to honk at plenty of people trying to turn into me.
