Important note for users
Data collection for domestic road freight statistics moved from a paper to online survey midway through 2021. An investigation of the data has concluded that the paper data, pre July to September 2021 (quarter 3), and online data, July to September 2021 (quarter 3) onwards, should not be compared.
A detailed explanation of the methodology change and the impact on the data can be found within the methodology note.
