KEY: S = data are not published because of high
sampling variability or other reasons; R = revised.
a
Truck as a single mode includes shipments
that went by private truck only, for-hire truck only, or a combination of
both.
b Excludes
most shipments of crude oil.
c Ton-miles
estimates are based on estimated distances traveled along a modeled
transportation network.
NOTE
Numbers may not add to totals due to
rounding. Value-of-shipments estimates have not been adjusted for price
changes. Coverage for the 2002 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) differs from the
previous surveys due to a change from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification
system to the 1997 North American Industry Classification System and other
survey improvements. Therefore, data
users are urged to use caution when comparing 2002 CFS estimates with
estimates from prior years.
