Quick Question

Hi guys,
okay, so I've missed out on a week or two of school, and I have a homework sheet I am in the process of completing for science. We are currently studying verrrry basic physics, but I've missed a few lessons and need some help with the last question. I think I have the answer, but just need to make sure haha.

A truck has a mass of 1000kg and its engine will provide a driving force of 5000N. If it has a constant velocity of 60km/hr, what is the size of the combined force due to friction and air resistance on the truck?

Thanks in advance :)
