Note(s): 
P-values are based on robust standard errors corrected for within-group (trucking firm) correlation. All models are estimated with commodity fixed effects using commodities classified under the Standard Classification of Transported Goods at the 5-digit level. Data cells are left blank when variables are not included in a model.
