"Reunión informal"
Explanation:
A pesar de que hay referencia de que estas reuniones se han realizado en la parte trasera de los trucks, esta definicion no es general. La definicion mas general se refiere a que en este tipo de reuniones, tambien llamadas "reuniones informales," el gerente se reune con sus empleados a dicutir, con brevedad, algún topico en especial.

Este es un extracto de la website que hice mencion.

Informal meetings, often referred to as "Tailgate" meetings, can also be planned. "Tailgate" meetings are often short in duration covering a specific topic. These short safety meetings are very effective at relating safety to a specific job or work task.

tailgate meeting
reunión en la obra / el campo / el área de trabajo


Explanation:
Reuniones cortas realizadas en el área de trabajo (no necesariamente
alrededor de una camioneta o"pickup"):

"Tailgate meetings have been held ever since the first tailgate was invented. Before that, who knows what they were called? The fact is, the concept of the tailgate meeting is not new - it involves gathering a group of workers around the back of a pickup truck or other location in the field or work area, having some sodas or sweets to hand out, and spending a few minutes going over some important work-related information."
