Tried switching and truckbig works but I get same error when I add one
that should be truckbigger. Where would I insert the

    min         2
    max         2
    cost        >>truckbigger
?? And should I use two if statements instead of the two conditions?
I missed the comment as I have tried using two if statements and some other attempts to get it to work.

Also found missing ), but adding it did not help.

I do have other shipping methods in shipping.asc it is just these two that are not playing nice together.
