Heaviest shipments in central region

T

he 2013 report of shipment weights by region shows
that New England continues to have the lightest
shipments on average, with the Central region beating
out the Great Lakes for the largest average shipment
weights. The Central region also has the largest average
weights for corporate shipments. The Southwest leads with
the heaviest COD shipments, while the West has the largest
GSA moves. These are based on origin location, so inbound
shipments to that region are not a factor. The Mid-Atlantic

region had the heaviest military shipments, presumably due to
the large concentration of officers at the Pentagon.
Compared to five years ago, there are few changes in the
regional pattern of shipment weights. The Central Region
had heavier GSA moves, but lost the corporate category to
Great Lakes and the overall lead to the Mid-Atlantic region.
New England continues to have smaller shipments across
the board, presumably due to generally older houses that are
smaller in size than newer homes.
