Energy for moving water and natural gas is excluded. Marine ton miles include freight transported in rivers, canals, Great Lakes and oceans. Intercity freight ton miles only are included. Truck ton miles include both Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) and non-ICC trucks. Pipeline ton miles represent movement of crude oil and other petroleum products (excludes movement of water and natural gas). Air freight volumes include Federal Express or, United Parcel Service small package shipments only after 1985 since a data collection for small package shipments such as Federal Express or, UPS did not begin until 1986.
