I’d expect most (successful) RL truck hijacking occurs in the port; workers just put the container on the ‘wrong’ truck, wittingly or unwittingly. Just hack the scheduling and loading system (if you know which container ID has the stuff you want) and just get in line with the rest of ‘em. The stolen container is put on your own truck for your convenience. No muss, no fuss, and you could get away with it for quite a while if you did it low key. If stopped, the driver would have a valid manifest. Hell the driver doesn’t even have to be in on it (in fact it’s better if he isn’t…)

ObTrav: The PC’s need to steal a specific cargo lot from the starport...

Alternatively they just steal the trucks or trailers when the driver isn’t in them: <http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704722304575037241392821742>
