Adjust the accel pot. or forward/reverse switches is my guess.

I'd bet ya that the accel pot is far into its sweep when the foward or reverse switch finally engages.

Or conversely, the corresponding switch is in need of adjustment or replacement because the truck doesn't see it engaged until the accel pot is deep in its sweep.
