They don't. I work in that industry. It's to do with the way tax works. They often use subcontractors but the subcontractors employ their drivers. It's very different from eg the UK, Spain or Italy. France is the most similar to Germany, there are some self employed drivers working for la poste, but it's all employed at the others, even Amazon.
I can't see it. Would you drive 600km to find some guy in order to get paid? What if you can't find him, you're way out of pocket in eastern Europe with possibly no money to get home. So what if you've got some guy's passport if you can't find him!
