    Let's say the first truck weighs x tons

    Then, the weight of 2nd truck = x+2 tons

    The weight of 3rd truck = (x + 2) + 2 = x+4 tons

    The weight of 4th truck = (x + 4) + 2 = x+6 tons

    Total weight of 4 trucks:

    x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 32

    which can be solved easily to give x = 5
