How did you get here and what is this table? A quick explanation for the table is here, and a more complete one is there.

Notes:

  • As mentioned in the full study, for Table 1 Overall Truck Count and Skirted Truck Count seen above, I used five actual counts, created a 12 month fitted plot and then over wrote the original data not realizing how valuable it would be later in this project.  I am fairly sure that the last number is close to or even an exact real-world count.
  • A typical number of work days for a (US) government employee, and thus commute days, can be calculated similar to the following:
    • 365 days a year, minus
    • 104 weekend days a year, equals
    • 261 weekdays, minus
    • 12 state holidays, minus
    • 3 administrative leave days, minus
    • 10 vacation days, minus
    • 5 sick days, and
    • No additional vacation from seniority or sick time, both of which are common, equals
    • 231 work days with probable commutes, divided by 12
    • Equals 19.25 work days a month, or just less than four five-day work weeks a month.
