It has for sure nothing to do with windows 8.
try and rename truck storage.scs to truck_storage.scs

When you use Winrar, remember to select ZIP, then STORE in compression, and before packing, you can write truck_storage.scs in filename, that should do it (in that order).

ever since I first started creating .scs files 6 yrs ago I've always named the file "mod_name_blah_blah.scs" and then saved it as a .zip (on store setting as flemming said) and then you are left with a newly created zip file called "mod_name_blah_blah.scs.zip" then I simply 'right click > rename' and delete the ".zip" from the end, after the obligatory "Are you sure" popup window you are then left with a .scs file.

Some people will say "this isn't necessary, this process is too long, ain't got time fo dat" but I've always done it this way and I have never ever had a problem with a badly packaged mod.

what do you mean?

It has to be archived in zip format, there is no circumventing that, whether you choose to follow my process or just exchange the .zip for .scs is up to you, either way you'll need to right click and rename the file.
