A private carrier is one for which trucking is not the main activity, but which owns or leases vehicles for the primary purpose of hauling its own goods. Private trucking is not part of the for-hire trucking industry. Note that, following persistent problems with data quality, the private carrier trucking survey was discontinued after reference year 1998. Since that date, therefore, it has no longer been possible to obtain data on this segment of the trucking industry.
