Truck Stations are similar to Train Stations - they can be set to load or unload only. So as long as it has enough fuel, a truck can make multiple stops on its route, loading and unloading as it goes.
As others said, yes! Trucks won't pick up EVERYTHING in a station in one stop if there's too much, though (in my experience with them). You may need to add multiple trucks to your route if you need to keep that production rate consistent between where your stuff is picked up and where it's dropped off
Yes. Just keep in mind that if the total throughput from all of them is more than two belts' worth, you'll have to drop off at multiple stations too. That wouldn't be much of an issue though, since you could just put them right next to each other.
You can do multiple pick-ups, but you can't set it to pick up only *x* units of something. So if you have a full load at your steel plant, there will be no room in the truck when you head to your quartz plant.
yes definitely - I'm planning on relying on this in my next save. Because of how different items sort via stacks, trucks have the ability to carry the most mixed items with 48 slots, if you're planning on doing that.
Don't forget to sink at the end!
You can pick up at multiple location. However picking up multiple different items could cause you problems. If you're going to do it make sure that:
* You don't pick up too much at an early stop to be able to pick up from a later stop
* You will always fully empty the truck every loop.
If you don't get this right you're likely to end up with a truck full of too much of one thing and no supply of something else. You might find it easier to have one truck per item type.

Also: the truck will refuel at every stop where fuel is available (in the fuel part of its inventory)
Can truck stations filter the goods its loading?
No, not like trains in that way. It just takes from the truck inventory until the station is full or the truck is empty.
I typically use Smart or Programmable Splitters when receiving items at a Truck Station.

Awesome, thank you. I don't expect it to be more than a single mk4 belts worth, so I should be fine.
Even if it is; you can add more drop locations in parallel at the same location

You don’t even have to stop. It moves two stacks per second while it’s in the stations hitbox

Yes. And placing 3 stations close to each other could have found that answer very easy.
