The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics reports that in May trucks moved 66 percent of all the international freight – with trains, planes, ships and pipelines picking up the rest. For the second consecutive month, trucking was the only mode to experience an increase when compared to the previous year.
The value of freight hauled across the borders decreased a small fraction of a percent compared with April when freight was also down less than 1 percent from the previous month. May marks the second consecutive decrease after two consecutive increases in February and March.
