Trucks immune to bombardment?

I was wondering why vehicles seem to be immune to bombardment... Especially in the case of air strikes, since trucks are mainly road-bound, they constituted primary targets. Yet, bombardments can kill tanks, but do not affect vehicles...
Shouldn't they particularly be affected by air strikes against HQs, which should represent air raids against the enemy logistical network?

For WitW, I can hardly imagine trucks immune to Jabo attacks in Normandy. If allied air strikes damage effects have been hugely overestimated, in terms of destruction, trucks were among the first victims...

True. There is no reason why they shouldn't count among bombardment losses. Or do they? Maybe they do, but are not recorded in the losses report?
