Details on fuel consumption include the consumption quantity, and the consumption expenses, by fuel type (total, fuel and oil, turbo fuel, gasoline, and all other fuel and oil). Data are for Canadian air carriers, Levels I and II combined, Level III, and Levels I to III combined. Data on wages and salaries are expressed in thousands of dollars; on fuel and oil consumption, in thousands of litres; and, on fuel and oil expenses, in thousands of dollars.

Description: Nearly 50,000 or one in five (22%) Canadian truck drivers on the road in 1998 were independent truckers or "owner-operators". However, similar to other forms of self-employment, the net-earnings and socio-economic characteristics of owner-operators have often been ignored by researchers for reasons of analytical convenience or data limitations. New data products recently released by Statistics Canada such as the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) have the potential to fill much of this gap. The 1997 SLID cross-sectional micro-data files offer a limited but meaningful insight into the work patterns of the owner-operator population, complementing and validating well-established business surveys such as the annual Small for-hire carrier and Owner-operator Survey (SFO). The purpose of this study, through a multivariate analysis of the 1997 SLID and the 1997 SFO survey, was to compare the work patterns and backgrounds of owner-operators to company drivers (paid truck drivers employed by carriers). The study found that while drivers may choose to be self-employed to gain independence, owner-operators tend to work longer hours to meet fixed and variable costs, in return for lower after-tax earnings and a greater likelihood of high work-life stress. The analysis also found that the odds of self-employment among truckers were highest among drivers over 40 years of age with no post-secondary training.

Data Canada, provinces, territories, census divisions and census subdivisions of work are shown in this table.

This table is part of the topic 'Place of work and commuting to work', which presents data on the place of work, mode of transportation and commuting distance between home and work of Canadians for standard geographic areas. It includes data by workplace location, which provide a unique source of daytime demographic and socio-economic information.

The data reveal shifts between public and private transportation, and changes in the popularity of cycling and walking to work.

In 1995, 200 marine carriers based in Canada, including for-hire marine carriers, private carriers and government carriers, owned and operated a fleet of 1,760 vessels and employed 21,940 people with wages and salaries of $1,083 billion.

Description:

The survey collects annual financial, operating and employment data on bus companies operating in Canada. It also includes municipalities and government agencies that operate urban transit and commuter services. The data are used as input to the Canadian System of National Accounts, by Transport Canada, other federal and provincial departments, and by transportation companies, consulting firms, universities and foreign governments. The information is used for the analysis of transportation activity, for marketing and economic studies, as well as industry performance measures.

Description:

Although revenues were higher in 2004 compared to 2003, the Canadian bus and urban transit industries had a difficult year in 2004. Their net income dropped nearly 17% as expenses rose faster than revenues.
