1 Estimates exclude shipments of crude petroleum (SCTG 16).  ,,,,,,,
2 Ton-miles estimates are based on estimated distances traveled along a modeled transportation network.  ,,,,,,,
KEY:  n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified; SCTG = Standard Classification of Transported Goods; Z = zero or less than 1 unit of measure.  ,,,,,,,
"NOTES:  The data presented in this table exclude shipments from the following establishments classified in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as: farms, forestry, logging, fisheries, construction, publishing, and crude petroleum production; households; governments; and most retail and service businesses.  Also excluded are most imports and commodities shipped from a foreign location to another foreign destination that pass through the United States.  Estimates are preliminary and may be revised.  A breakout of CFS data by state is planned for inclusion in the CFS final report scheduled for release in December 2004.  ",,,,,,,
