Yes, but it looks wrong. Actually it looks like you got to the outline detail of your texturing process, stopped, and added dirty overlays. Mud and dirty shouldn't destroy detail and edges, but sit on top of them.

My main crit is, finish the mine cart scene. :P

thanx for the clear response
a bit better? i moved the detail layer and placed the dirt layer under
if not how do i go about avoiding this in future textures while working in photoshop??
one of the things which bothers me when i post work on this forum is that im told something is wrong but not why and how to fix it.
and come on i only have 3, i need to improve and after awhile people stop reading a thread
Think about *exactly* where dirt would hit this truck. Do you really think that dirt - I'm talking brown muddy dirt like what you've done - would hit the part of the cargo thats above where people sit (above the windshield). No, that area would be dirty.. but not muddy. It's in the city, not the country - its more scuffs/random markings then "dirt" that'd be messing up this truck.
You're right in having dirt around the wheels and where the person driving would put his feet when getting into the truck, but its still very dark around there and not making much sense.
Some references:
The third image is a good example of the kind of dirt/damage you should be painting. Try and not make the Uhaul look like an offroad jeep straight from the forest.
I almost prefer the top one - but still needs SOME mucking up. Again, it looks like the truck just got finished off-roading - which is not something a cargo truck like that would be doing.

thats about the kinda dirt you see on veichles of that sort in my city, 18 wheelers,trucks,vans and such are easily this dirty.

Hope this helps.
