KEY:
(1) Ton-miles estimates are based on estimated
distances traveled along a modeled transportation network.
(2) Coefficient of Variation.
NOTES: These data are preliminary
and are subject to change; they will be superseded by data released in later
reports. Value-of-shipment estimates have not been adjusted for price
changes. Estimated measures of sampling variability for each estimate known
as coefficients of variation (CV) are also provided in these tables.
