I am unfamiliar with this sense of ‘truck’. Is it an extension of the barter sense, the transport sense, or some new sense altogether?

According to the article, I believe that he was soaked in a salt-water solution for several hours

My pork chop brine recipe:

1 cup water 1 tablespoon sea salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon molasses

Throw in any herbs/spices you choose.

Let pork sit in brine solution at least 2 hours.

That video hurt me as a middle-aged Packers fan.

And I kept waiting for one of the announcers to use ‘truck’ to mean run over/through someone. But as far as I can tell they never did. But it is used in the video’s title.

Is this sarcasm? Il bite, its slang for hit him like a truck. Was a popular term among kids in the early 90's at least.

Not sarcasm. I hoped it was a sense I hadn’t encountered before. Otherwise I thought maybe it was a typo. Anyway, excited to learn a new slang term.
