# The mean annual VMT <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> 5-axles or more fleet was 45,686 miles per truck.<br />
# <strong>Vehicle</strong>s with <strong>the</strong> largest mean annual VMT in <strong>the</strong> fleet are doubles with 6-axles or more<br />
which have mean annual VMT <strong>of</strong> 59,488 miles per truck.<br />
# <strong>Vehicle</strong>s with <strong>the</strong> smallest mean annual VMT in <strong>the</strong> fleet are triples with 15,469 miles<br />
per truck.<br />
# 3-S2s have an mean annual VMT <strong>of</strong> 58,735 miles per truck. 4-S1/S2s have an mean<br />
annual VMT <strong>of</strong> 61,676 miles per truck. Tridem axle semitrailers have an mean annual<br />
VMT <strong>of</strong> 56,374 miles per truck.<br />
CHANGES BETWEEN 1992 AND 1997<br />
# The mean annual VMT <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> 5-axles or more fleet experienced a 17% decrease <strong>of</strong><br />
18,314 miles from 64,000 miles/truck in 1992 to 45,686 miles/truck in 1997.<br />
# The mean annual VMT increased <strong>for</strong> truck+trailer with 5-axles, tridem axle semitrailers.<br />
# The mean annual VMT <strong>for</strong> 4S1/S2 did not change.<br />
# The mean annual VMT <strong>for</strong> triples appears to have decreased. However, given that only a<br />
small sample <strong>of</strong> triples were surveyed (178 in 1997 <strong>and</strong> 38 in 1992), this may be a<br />
statistical anomaly.<br />

8.3 Annual VMT by Major Truck Configuration by Body Type<br />
# Vans have <strong>the</strong> largest mean annual VMT (80,000 miles/truck). Tank trucks <strong>for</strong> liquid or<br />
gases have <strong>the</strong> next largest mean annual VMT (54,000 miles/truck), <strong>and</strong> tank trucks<br />
hauling bulk goods has a slightly lower mean VMT (49,000 miles/truck). Dump trucks,<br />
auto transporters, <strong>and</strong> grain bodies have low mean VMT (
