    Hello Guys. I need some tips from experts.
    I will be an owner-operator in few weeks and I wanna know more about the load boards used in Canada. Can I use the loadboards used in the US to find loads going from Canada to the US? Why is the pay different in Canada per mile than in the US? It is much less almost all the time. Your advice is highly appreciated.

    Some of the pay difference is the difference in the value of the US Dollar vs the Canadian Dollar. Many brokers want to load Canadian trucks from the US to Canada as they can pay Canadian dollars instead of US. Dealing with brokers, check on the rate / load sheet if the pay will be in USD, or CAN dollars.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    Are you from Canada? Being a o/o in the coming weeks, how are you going to find freight?
