  Because trucking isn't Uber. The company that is shipping out million-dollar medical automation robots calls the same trucking company every day. If they ever found out that the sensors had been tampered with, and it would be obvious right away, then the robot people would never hire those truckers again. That's your reputation. In real life, that's how people do business. The real world is not a big puzzle.

    Exactly this. Not to mention shippers often apply two sets of these, one on the outside for deterrent purposes and a second set inside the equipment that they'll verify before signing off that it was received.

    I agree. But the situation you describe does not address possible weaknesses in the sticker design.
