How would they know a human (under narcotics) is in the big heavy box? Can they know? Are there scans performed on big cargo?
I assume for container ships it gets heavy checks because it’s usually going overseas, but what about packages sent within the same country? Is it just unnecessary to do it this way because cartels can move them by car themselves?

Boxes are scanned, usually by X-rays, and finding a person inside would be a red flag. Containers also have documentation that says what’s inside, and customs inspectors check them and finding people inside would be a huge problem. Containers move very slowly across the ocean, and you can’t open the doors while at sea, so it would have to be a self-contained “human habitat” inside the container. That’s even easier to find with the sound from the pumps and stuff.
If you get caught, you’re in big trouble. Shipping with false papers is not something that a legitimate freight company would even consider, they could lose their licenses. If you just show up with a container and you’re a new customer, they are 100% going to look inside, to make sure you are following the rules and have the goods secured correctly, because they don’t want to get blamed if some load shifts while being loaded.
