KEY: S = Estimate does not meet publication standards because of
high sampling variability or poor response quality. - = Zero or Less than
half the unit shown; thus, it has been rounded to zero.
1 Standard Classification of Transported
Goods.
2 Estimates exlude shipments of crude petroleum (SCTG 16).
3 "Truck" as a single mode includes shipments that were made by
only private truck, only for-hire truck, or a combination of private and
for-hire truck.
NOTES: Rows are not shown if all cells for that particular row have no
values. For example, specific coomodity group by mode rows are not shown in
this table because there are no data for those rows. Value-of-shipment
estimates have not been adjusted for price changes. More information on
sampling error, confidentiality protection, nonsampling error, sample design,
and definitions may be found at http://www.bts.gov/cfs.
