First, you can just google for "logistics is a shady business"

If you want to be more specific, you can google for "carrier haulage tax evasion" - this will be just the tip of the iceberg.

Supply chain is mixed with shady practices for tax evasion, bribery, laundering and all sorts of shady things at all levels that "compete" with actual process optimization. Combined with overall opposition to automation this incapacitates any effort to make the process efficient cuz it's hard, it "steals jobs" and not easy money.

Thanks.

For the first query I only found this:

For the second query I only found this, which discusses something that to my understanding isn't happening yet?

Gotta say, I expected to find a lot more, compared to industries I know are shady (compare to googling "vpn shady"). I don't think I have a specific model of what shady practice are common in the logistics industry.
