    Driver's pay should be around 42 cpm for Canadian runs and around 48 cpm acros border. But make sure Canadian runs have long waiting hours for back hauls. You in BC , so probably you will coming most to Ontario.

    Owner operator's pay , you will know it after driving for sometime ..

    Operating cost depends on numerous factors. So just get in first ... Good luck
