It would take a lot for them to force the driver to sell his route off.
I don't think that is true all over anyway. My BIL & SIL both deliver for them and they don't own their routes. I also have a friend here in my town that delivers for them and I know she doesn't own her route.

I think that is how DHL works tho.
