It has only one more detailed code, 484220, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

By establishments it ranks 1st of the 3 codes at this level within Specialized Freight Trucking, with 60.6% of them.

County Business Patterns counts 32,207 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 233,012 people at an average annual payroll of $66,201 per employee (45th percentile of national industries). 69% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 5% and employment rose 5%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
