North American Industry Classification System

North American Industry Classification System is what NAICS stands for. It is a system of classification by federal statistical agencies that helps to group together businesses on the basis of their economic activities. In trucking, NAICS codes help in classifying distinct types of trucking businesses for purposes of statistics, regulation and planning.

Some of the key NAICS codes related to the trucking industry include:

• 484110: General Freight Trucking, Local
• 484121: General Freight Trucking, Long-Distance, Truckload
• 484122: General Freight Trucking, Long-Distance, Less Than Truckload
• 484210: Used Household and Office Goods Moving
• 484220: Specialized Freight (except Used Goods) Trucking, Local
• 484230: Specialized Freight (except Used Goods) Trucking, Long-Distance

These are codes used to classify and examine the trucking industry systematically so as to enhance better comprehension and decision-making among businesses’ stakeholders such as policymakers and researchers.
