I've come up with my own idea and it appears to have solved most of the problem. I think the decoder may still have issues, but the problem has been significantly decreased with the addition of these contact strips i made. I took one "bus" strip and bent it to match the contours of the truck, and soldered on three smaller contact strips. I bent it in such away that they always stay in contact.
