NOTES: Numbers and percents may not add to totals due to rounding.
Fleet sales total cannot be compared with truck sales in table 1-10 for the following reasons: 1) this table includes both domestic and imported trucks, whereas the numbers in table 1-10 are for domestic trucks only; and 2) thistable covers only light trucks, whereas the numbers in table 1-10 include heavy trucks.
