KEY: S = Withheld because estimate did not meet publication standards.

Z = Rounds to zero.

(1) Shipments that are temperature controlled are transported in a vehicle or container that regulates or maintains the temperature when en route to its destination.

(2) NAICS codes shown are those covered in the Commodity Flow Survey.

(3) Ton-miles estimates are based on estimated distances traveled along a modeled transportation network. See “Mileage Calculations” section for additional information.

(4) “Truck” as a single mode includes shipments that were made by only private truck or only for-hire truck.

(5) Estimates for pipeline exclude shipments of crude petroleum (SCTG 16).

(6) For tabulation and publication purposes, NAICS 484 is grouped with NAICS 4931.
