- W149126554 abstract "The forest industry is an important sector of Northern Ontario's economy. Transportation of raw material from the forests to processing mills is a vital link in this industry. In 1988, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation conducted a study that examined the transportation of logs by owner operators to the various forest product companies located in Northwestern Ontario. This paper describes the study methodology, outlines operating conditions, analyzes owner operators' financial results, and examines the various factors which determine the financial success or failure of an owner operator's log hauling operation. The following are the main points which emanated from the study: 1) Operating practices such as hours of work, length of trip, trips per day, and types of roads travelled varied widely not only among companies but among individual owner operators as well; 2) Although most log haulers are not able to work a full year, when working, they generally work long hours each day, either driving or maintaining their equipment; 3) Log hauling is unlike other trucking operations because about one third of the total kilometers driven is on bush or gravel roads resulting in higher operating costs; 4) Gross income, which probably best reflects what the individual owner operators consider as earnings, varied considerably. Average gross income was found to be generally comparable to a company driver's earnings provided that the work schedules were alike. However, in those cases where the mills did not cover the fringe benefits for the owner operator, the company driver had a significant advantage; 5) In the short term, overloading increases operating costs only marginally, but it increases annual earnings significantly. On average, for each percentage point that the owner operators overloaded their vehicles, they earned an additional $1,167.00 per year; 6) Although overloading will have a significant impact on owner operator earnings, other factors such as management of costs and amount of time worked have as much or more impact on earnings.
