I have an interesting finding... I've compiled with QT5 and now I have the transactions... but the top menu disappeared.
I have kept the old QT4 version (and recompiled it just in case), and it doesn't have the transactions, but the menu is there.

So far it's not blocking since I can launch one or the other, but it's not really the most elegant thing to do.

I've compiled on Ubuntu 16.04.2 Xenial Xerus LTS with QT4, and now I see this same problem.
No transactions showing in the transactions list, but everything is working fine.
Stakes are showing up in coin control.
Is there a dev that can look into this, and possibly bugfix & update?
Another thing I've noticed, if I run ./truckcoin-qt from command line, I get this in the terminal:
(truckcoin-qt:6706): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_date_get_julian: assertion 'g_date_valid (d)' failed
(truckcoin-qt:6706): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_date_set_time_t: assertion 'g_date_valid_dmy (date->day, date->month, date->year)' failed
Not sure if that has something to do with it. (because it can't do timestamps then?)
