7 2010 Competitive Freight Among Truck and Rail Tonnage Trucks and Trains Compete on a Very Limited Basis Competitive Truck Freight, 0.6 Competitive Rail Freight, 0.3 Non- Competitive Rail, 1.6 Non- Competitive Truck, 8.5 Note: Maximum competitive freight is less than 1 billion tons in a total market (truck and rail only) of 11 billion tons, or less than 10%. Competitive freight includes all freight traveling at least 500 miles, but excludes coal tonnage. There is a significant amount of time definite freight in this category that really isn t competitive, but it is included. So in reality, the competitive market is even smaller than suggested here. Billions of Tons Sources: Commodity Flow Survey (US Census Bureau) and ATA
