(1) UN numbers were selected based on estimated tons without regard to sampling variability.                                                                                                                                                       (2) ""Truck"" as a single mode includes shipments that were made by only private truck, only for-hire truck, or a combination of private and for-hire truck. 
(3) Estimates for pipeline exclude shipments of crude petroleum.
