KEY: SCTG = Standard Classification of Transported Goods; n.e.c. = Not elsewhere classified.
(1) Mixed freight shipments include: supplies and food for restaurants and fast food chains, items (including food) for grocery and convenience stores, hardware or plumbing supplies (not elsewhere classified), office supplies, and miscellaneous.
NOTE: The CFS totals in this table differ from the larger composite estimate totals specified in the text and in the tables because they do not include additions to account for the out-of-scope missing pieces and some in-scope segments that were underrepresented in the CFS, such as waterborne and pipeline shipments.
