Easter Candy logistics with Bissinger’s; Liberation Day; MasterTech Alyssa Briggs

On Episode 821 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about Liberation Day tariffs. With Trump set to announce a new slate of tariffs today at 4 p.m., what are the early impacts and how are supply chains responding? We’ll take a look. In headlines, mass layoffs hit supply chains and Trevor Milton announces the release of a new documentary on his conviction.  Bissinger’s Chief Chocolate Officer Dan Abel Jr. talks all about the logistics of Easter candy. We’ll find out the sweet science behind making sure the Easter Bunny is leaving fully stocked baskets on the holiday. We’ll also see how the company is responding to tariffs and if they will make candy cost more. Trailer mechanic Alyssa Briggs made history as the first woman to win XPO’s national MasterTech competition. Briggs hopes to inspire other women to not only get involved in the diesel mechanic industry, but to also to compete and test their skills.
