This data shows regional volumes by quarter and year, and it includes a share variable,which is the ratio of that region's quarterly volumes to total volumes across all regions that quarter.

Bar chart showing the top 20 refrigerated truck volume districts over the past 30 days. District totals are broken down by commodity, and it includes filters for date and origin.

This data derives from USDA/AMS/Market News/Specialty Crops Program movement data, including only truck and import modes at domestic origins. It includes daily fruit and vegetable refrigerated truck volumes by origin district and commodity (from 2000 to 2010, data is weekly). The Transportation Services Division assigns a broader region to the origins in order to join to refrigerated truck rate and availability data.

The data is collected by AMS market reporters. Truck shipments for all commodities and origins are not available. Those obtainable are reported, but should not be interpreted as representing complete movements of a commodity. Truck shipments are collected at shipping points and include both inter and intrastate movements. They are obtained from various sources, including Federal marketing orders, administrative committees, Federal State inspection service and shippers. Methods used include telephone interviews, faxes, emails, and access to other data sources. The movement data is subject to adjustment as new information becomes available. The latest data will generally be under-reported until revisions are made. Updates to Market News Movement data can happen daily, weekly, monthly, and can happen at any time during the season. The Transportation Services Division updates our data from Market News weekly, including historical revisions.

Weekly aggregation of daily refrigerated truck volumes using Tuesday to define the week ending date in order to match with Refrigerated Truck Rate data.

Bar chart showing regional volumes, only including shipments that occurred in the past 5 years during the months of March-June.

Chart calculating monthly total refrigerated truck volumes, for completed months, compared to the same period in recent years. Filterable by region and commodity.

This filtered view joins the refrigerated truck rate and volume data to calculate a weighted average rate per mile (rpm). Quarterly average rates are weighted by regional volume shares in that quarter. Mileage categories are: a) local–500 miles and less, b) short distance–between 501 and 1,500 miles, c) medium distance–between 1,501 and 2,500 miles, and d) long distance–greater than 2,500 miles.

Bar chart showing the top 20 refrigerated truck volume commodities over the past 30 days. Commodity totals are broken down by origin, and it includes filters for date and district.

This timeline chart sums refrigerated truck volumes by month and includes the past 5 years of data, up to the most recent completed month, by default. Use the filters to narrow down to specific commodities or locations, or to choose a different data range.
