The horror smash took place around 5am Monday morning, around 50 miles from Dhaka.
15 people were declared dead at the scene, with some reportedly crushed under the iron bars that the truck was transporting.
Police commander Fuad Hossain said the truck was carrying extra hitchhikers who were travelling from the Bangladeshi capital to the north of the country ahead of Eid al-Adha.
The official said many of the people killed were day labourers on the way to join their families for the religious festival.
Local reports said they were hitching a ride on the truck to avoid high bus fares around Eid.
