I am not really sure if I understood your question correct. But the standard of FlexSim objects is, that items can be sent to the next object if the ports are open and the next object has enough space for the item.

If you now send an item (as you do with your trucks) and it closes the entry port as soon as it arrives on the object. All other items that are already on the way (were allowed to do the way) will enter the object. No matter if the port is closed now, or not. If you are working with other items than Taskexecuters this should never be a problem.
