If the speed of the truck remains the same, then we can say that the distance travelled by the truck is directly proportional to the time.

After taking 5 hours the truck will travel a distance of let say 'x';

Hence we obtain the relation:

\frac{14km}{25minutes}=\frac{x}{5\times60minutes }

x=\frac{14km\times 5\times60minutes}{25minutes}=168km;

thus the truck would travel a distance of 168km in 5 hours.
