You have accounts listed more than once.

It appears they are journal entries. The first one does not balance

It should be:
Debit Cash for 600
Debit Truck for 1,100
Credit Capital for 1,700
(for owner investing cash and a truck into the business)

Once you journalize your entries you need to post them to your acocunts, then get your account balances, then you do your trial balance.
