Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 484110 covers general freight trucking establishments that operate within metropolitan areas, typically completing trips on the same day, whereas code 48412 covers long-distance general freight trucking between metropolitan areas. Both handle a diverse range of palletized commodities in containers or van trailers, but the critical distinction lies in service territory: local operations stay within a single metropolitan region, while long-distance carriers connect different metropolitan areas across broader geographic ranges.
