I am having the same issues as well.... more specifically when the trade depots/ports are set to "use Locally" they will not send correctly either (eg. trying to send Processors to the great works site)
Not to mention the garbage/recycling trucks just go around and around in circles and don't pick up garbage.
I have the same issue. Resource trucks slowly stopped sending resources to a great work, then they stopped working entirely.

I've been experiencing this problem on a post 3.1 created region (and cities). Trade Port trucks seem to work trading with the region, in between Freight Train delivieries/pickups. However, overtime the number of trucks dimishes with regards to local deliveries. Local specialty factories eventually stop processing due to lack of materials.
Trade Ports (as in the case listed below) are set to deliver locally, export and import. I would have to take a closer look, but the problem of non-local deliveries seems to mostly involve 'Imported Items'. Locally produced materials (ie. Alloy) seem to available for further processing. However, this may be due to direct factory to factory deliveries.
The workaround solution is to bulldoze the garages, within seconds, the trucks are available and deliver locally again. This is reliably repeatable. An example of this is the mining town of Burhausen Hills, in Viridian Woods 3.1 , on server North America East 3. Trucks seem to disappear most frequently after AFK timeouts, but that just may be coincidental. As the problem is very repeatable, there does not seem to be a noticable trigger event..
