With Halloween approaching, carriers across the country joined forces this October to run what industry insiders are calling the largest “Candy Convoy” in U.S. history. The mission: deliver millions of tons of sweets to stores before trick-or-treaters revolt.
Dispatchers describe the operation as “Santa Claus logistics, but scarier.” Drivers were assigned to candy-only freight lanes, hauling loads of chocolate bars, lollipops, and gummy worms at record speeds.
“It was the best-smelling reefer I’ve ever pulled,” admitted driver Pete Lawson. “My cab still smells like Snickers.”
Not everyone was happy. Drivers with kids say the temptation was brutal. “You try hauling forty thousand pounds of Reese’s and explain to your 8-year-old why you didn’t sneak one home,” said a dad from Nebraska.
Reports of hijacking attempts also surfaced. One driver claimed his trailer was chased by a minivan full of kids with pillowcases. “They looked serious,” he said.
The convoy was hailed as a success, though dentists expressed concern. One dental association released a statement demanding the Department of Transportation regulate “excessive sugar distribution.”
Truckers shrugged off the controversy. “We don’t make the rules,” said Lawson. “We just deliver the cavities.”
