Will he ever stop being car-sick?

Hey guys. I just got a black and Tan three weeks ago and he has been in the truck alot. He will not stop crapping and puking in the box. Will he ever stop, or is it going to be like this forever? I don't know how many times I can clean this box out. Now if he's in the truck and you start the engine, he starts heavy drueling and I havn't even left the driveway. Seems like a good pup other than that. Any pointers, or your experience on this would be much appreciated.

Well dunno how much help this will be but here are my experiences:
Had one pup that had it for about a year then she lost it and never drooled again.
Had another that if he just saw the truck would start drooling, he lost it after about 2-3 years (he was a nut case in lots of other respects though too, so could have had something to do with it)
Had one more pup that did it the first week and lost it.
So basically every dog that I've had has lost it but the time frame was different for all of them. I feel the quicker the dog realizes the truck=hunting the quicker it gets over truck stuff (sick, loading up, etc.)

My Plott female was a sicky also, only that was before i had my truck and i had to use my jeep. She got sick on the way home at eight weeks and made a mess every time till about 14 months. Try not feeding close to when you leave, give a half day to digest it, it helped me with the puke. She was easy to load and when she hit the ground she would be fine just the ride was a mess, now when she loads she goes to the back lays down and stay there till the door opens and no mess. Give the dog some time it should out grow it, if not have her ride with a buddy. ha ha
