If you need to have your lawn cut, and your brother will do it for $50 or you can pay a stranger to cut it for $20, which makes the most sense financially? If you are truly focused on getting your lawn cut for the least amount of cash, it is a no brainer.
Not to drive you crazy, but exactly how are the profits of the W/O carriers dispersed?

That 10% margin has to go somewhere.
