Domestic road freight haulage (CSRGT) data up to quarter 2 (April to June) 2021 (before the methodology change)

RFS01 domestic road freight activity data tables before the methodology change can be downloaded. 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.
