what is the BEST solution to replace or reduce trucking?

If you are wondering how to reduce truck traffic the one who answered first is right.  If you are looking to reduce traffic as a whole, the powers that be should charge a tax to every vehicle in the US by the mile.  We would soon see many of these cretins clogging up the roads sitting in their backyards swilling beer instead.

Stop Smoking\nUse your feet/bicycles rather than driving and polluting the air and causing GLOBAL WARMING.\n\nGlobal Warming has already taken affect in Alaska.\n\nIt's amazing how this generation is considered the "Eco-Friendly Generation" when many of us drive gas-guzzling SUV's

I ride a Gravity.  Independent trucks are the way to go. I'm sure they have their own website you can checkout.

Thanks to Big Blue and their being the pioneers in "downsizing", this is a common scenario nowadays. \n\nSpread the workload as evenly as possible, ask for and pay attention to their input and implement ideas worthy of consideration where possible. BE HONEST if at all possible. Understand that workers today are wearing several hats and stress is so thick in the workplace it can be sliced up for sandwiches. Reward loyalty and do not encourage suckups.

Rent a U-Haul truck and move it yourself.  You will save yourself a LOT of money doing it that way and you can tow your car behind then.  I have moved across country doing that and believe me, it is WAY cheaper than hiring a mover.  But, if you want insurance on your items then hire a mover to do it for you.  That way you are insured for everything that is being moved in the event that something gets broken.  Its totally up to you.

Remove all speed bumps from the parking lots and put them in the hallways and/or sports fields.\n\nAttach all hallway/lounge furniture to the ceiling.\n\nBrick up doorways to all administrative offices.\n\nSprinkle instant mashed potatos all over the sports fields, preferably with a reasonable expectation of rain in the next few days.\n\nHide an old cell phone in the ceiling or a plant and call it frequently throughout the day.  Preferably during times of quiet.\n\nRound-up.  (Draw your own conclusions and offer to help the maintenance guy in advance!)

Ultrasonic cleaners might be the best solution.\n\nHere is an excerpt from the source listed below: \n\nAlthough a range of possible alternative products is available today, experience has shown that substitution of TRI is not easy and even not feasible for a number of specific cases, either for technical or economical reasons. For all cases, substitution of TRI needs a thorough evaluation of all process aspects. For this reason we intend to work with the authorities in order to prevent a blanket implementation of forced substitution, and allow sustainable and continued safe use of TRI. \n\nThe alternatives you will probably consider first are the chlorinated solvents perchloroethylene (PER) and methylene chloride (MC). They match closest the technical features of TRI, such as non-flammability, high solvency power, a wide range of material compatibility and excellent drying and recycling properties.\n\nBeside PER and MC, you have probably also heard about other alternatives such as aqueous (water-based) alkaline systems, flammable solvents (e.g. hydrocarbons or modified alcohol based formulations), supercritical CO2 or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), etc.\n\nIt is impossible to say definitively which technology is best. That depends on your specific application, on what you are cleaning, which materials you want to remove, the cleanliness required, the variability of the parts cleaned, the throughput to be achieved, the cycle times, etc. \n\nFor example, for the cleaning of parts between two water-based manufacturing steps (e.g. galvanising), aqueous systems may be better, since parts are put into water phase again later and no energy-intensive drying step to remove the water is required. \n\nIf you need to have very clean and dry surfaces (for coating or surface hardening, for example) and if you have a variety of different metals or blind holes, narrow distances and very fine orifices or a lot of residual oil to clean, hydrocarbons or aqueous systems may not clean and dry well enough. In these cases, chlorinated solvents will offer most often the best solution as they are compatible with most materials, have a high cleaning power, are easy to dry, don't leave residual films and are easy to recycle with high quality by distillation. In addition, chlorinated solvents are today best suited to be used in modern closed systems with minimal losses. Their ecological performance has very much increased and, when used in well-operated metal cleaning systems, they outperform aqueous cleaning as long as drying is required. This has been shown by a Life Cycle Analysis carried out by Ecobilan. \n\nPER comes closest to TRI in technical performance and is often the first choice candidate as an alternative to TRI. However, it shows clear inherent technical differences, which need to be taken into consideration. On one side, PER offers a lower volatility and therefore is advantageous to minimise emissions in closed equipment. On the other side, PER has a lower solvency power and is therefore normally used at a higher cleaning temperature to achieve similar performance. This may raise concerns regarding the compatibility with specific metal working fluids and temperature-sensitive parts. \n\nMethylene chloride (MC) shows excellent cleaning properties already at low temperatures, favouring the cleaning of temperature sensitive parts. However, its high volatility makes emission control more difficult and requires special equipment.\n\nHydrofluorocarbons (HFC) and hydrofluorocarbon ethers (HFCE) are very expensive and show very limited solvency power. A thorough evaluation of the global warming potential is also required to choose the adequate product.

1.  Emphasize the expansion of suburban bedroom communities.\n2.  Provide better road access to and from suburbs.\n3.  Utilize urban space efficiently reducing wastefull "green areas"\n4.  Minimize the use of de-humanizing mass transit.\n5.  Incite "centers of commerce" in the form of malls and strip-malls.

you unscrew  the nuts in the wheel that attach them to the trucks. the best way to do this is with a standard skate tool from your nearest skateshop. remove the current bearings with a screwdriver by poking them out and replace the new bearings and the little pipe piece in between in the same placethey were before. this can be done with your hands

Personally, I LOVE the idea of adopting a highway or street. You can do this in the USA and Canada, but even if you can't "officially" do it in some other country -- why don't you do it anyway?\n\nJust go out every Saturday and pick up the trash along the road (remember your gloves!!!) and you'll certainly be beautifying your environment.

maybe try the local recycling center in your area. Or an industrial shipping/crating company. What about asking a lumber yard.

There are many companies out there that specialize in this area throuhout the country. Contact your local forklift dealer, they also specialize in material handling issues.

A pontiac grand am maybe? ( no, I am going to change that,....\nthey ought to drive the cheapest most relibable thing to get them around, the less flashy the better, it helps keep the attitude in check.

The only correct answer to this question:\n\n\nBy getting out of its way. (Not passing restrictive Laws)\n\nAnd by reducing taxes on business

You could deliver newspapers or magazines.  You could go put an ad in the paper and offer moving services, delivery services of light cargo, body removal service (kind of morbid), or just ask around and see if any stores or shops need help moving or transporting stuff.

the best way is to find out when there is wast pick op, or in my area the fire stations once a week will have a truck that all u have to do is drop off you waste and they will dispose of it properly,  burning it will cause harmful toxins in the air and could even be fatal if inhaled.

Use of beaming for transportation. \n\nWe need something to get rid of this crazy traffic...!
