Companies will put the staff back in the trucks when it becomes apparent how easy it is to stop them and steal everything from the back.
Nobody is stopping trucks on the interstate. You could easily have one human minder escort 12-15 trucks outbound truck and a minder escort inbound trucks and spend most of the time on the interstate. Instead of a dozen drivers x 3 days you could use 1-4 hours of human labor total.
Imagine a system were one driver could transport hundreds of trucks worth of cargo at once on preset routes. What an invention that would be...
Yes we know trains exist trucks are used in addition for obvious reasons that won't stop being true when we dont need drivers
