Which code does this activity belong in?
Specialized Freight (except Used Goods) Trucking, Local covers establishments providing specialized trucking services within metropolitan areas on a local basis, typically completing trips within the same day. The boundary with Used Household and Office Goods Moving lies in the nature of cargo; 48422 handles specialized freight such as agricultural products, livestock, bulk liquids, and construction materials, while establishments moving used household or office goods are classified separately. Long-distance specialized trucking, which extends beyond metropolitan areas and typically requires multi-day trips, falls under a different classification than local specialized trucking.
