It depends on who in the end holds the proprietary rights. The contractor or the company. If it's the contractor he can sell it and get the proceeds.

In many cases I've been told the contractor was given the routes whether he wanted them or not and even if they're permanent money losing areas the contractor in order to remain in good standing with the godfather knows better than to refuse to take them.
