What facts do you base this broad general statement on? As end of 3rd quarter we have 7531 loads on outside carriers. There is no correlation between the rate and the service failures. But there is a far higher rate of service failure of single O/O's versus larger carriers. Based on that someone could surmise that O/O's in general provide a lesser quality of service.
I'm not disputing that someone who hauls at too low of a rate continually will have financial problems,just that the rate of a load does not have anything to do with the level of service.
The level of service is provided by the individual's integrity not the rate. Under you definition even you yourself hauling a low rate load would not provide good service.
