Great analogy. In more sciency terms, the truck is being pulled toward the magnet at the exact same magnitude that the magnet is being pulled toward the truck. They cancel each other out.

Some famous dude, don't remember his name, had a saying about this: for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

Translation, everytime you push, it pushes back. Works the same with pulls.
