Commodities Hauled<br />
Each respondent on <strong>the</strong> survey indicated <strong>the</strong> percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir VMT that a particular commodity<br />
was hauled or that no commodities were hauled. The sum <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> commodities should total to<br />
100%. To evaluate <strong>the</strong> commodity data, <strong>the</strong> analysis has to be based on <strong>the</strong> actual VMT because<br />
% <strong>of</strong> VMT is not a valid unit <strong>of</strong> measure <strong>for</strong> analysis (i.e., 1% <strong>of</strong> VMT is not a common unit<br />
because each vehicle has a different annual VMT. For example, one vehicle’s annual VMT may<br />
be 100,000 miles which means 1% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir VMT is 1,000 miles, while ano<strong>the</strong>r vehicle’s annual<br />
VMT is 30,000 miles which means 1% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir VMT is 300 miles).<br />
