KEY: S = Withheld because estimate did not meet publication standards.
Z = Rounds to zero.
(1) Ton-miles estimates are based on estimated distances traveled along a modeled transportation network. See “Mileage Calculations” section for additional information.
(2) “Truck” as a single mode includes shipments that were made by only private truck or only for-hire truck.
(3) Estimates for pipeline exclude shipments of crude petroleum (SCTG 16).
NOTES: Value-of-shipments estimates have not been adjusted for price changes. Appendix B tables provide estimated measures of sampling variability. The Introduction and appendixes give information on confidentiality protection, sampling error, nonsampling error, sample design and definitions.
