What mode of transportation would you select for your products?   Why?

Key to mode is destination relative to point of production.\n\nIf production for instance is in New York and destination is Africa, Road transportation is out of the way. Air and Water will be the next modes to consider.\n\nIn eliminating the two we will also look at the cost and time it will take. These will be critical. To avoid all these, you will find companies setting up subsidiaries in distant locations.

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

USPS is good for small items especially media mail \n\nUPS and FedEx are better for larger items as their price is lower.\n\nIn terms of reliability, I get fewer complaints of shipments not arriving or delayed or getting lost with UPS than FedEx

Trains ... Automobiles ... Ships ...

trains, ships, planes, teleportation\n\nThe problem is trucks provide the best cost solutions where they are used.

1. Less effort\n2. Time-saving\n3. More environmentally friendly because it's less fuel emission, unless well, you consider garbage from the bought item.\n4. Online sales\n5. No pesky sales person asking you if you need help.\n6. Fast\n7. One click, and it's yours.

The right choice for what?

Choose a hybrid if you want comfort and efficiency first, and the toughness and durability to manage tracks second. The hybrid will not be able to go everywhere that a mountain bike does.\n\nChoose a mountain bike if you're willing to trade on road efficiency for the ability to go anywhere. A mountain bike is not so good for commuting and city-based recreational riding (that said, modern MTBs can be pretty good all rounders and you can always buy a second set of wheels - one lot with city tyres and a set of knobblies for the weekend).\n\nHybrids are sometimes merely mountain bikes with slimmer, tyres. Avoid these, because the frame geometry is wrong for street use. Go to a good dealer and try out genuine hybrids from manufacturers like Cannondale, Specialised and Trek.\n\nWhether you go for a hybrid or an MTB, buy the best you can afford from a well known bikemaker and a good, high end shop. Go for the best componentry you can afford (gears and brakes) because cheap components go wrong or work badly and this will put you off cycling.\n\nI recommend you go for good front suspension, but avoid rear suspension - for your requirement it is pointless, adds weight, goes wrong, reduces ride quality and adds price.

You need to define "bulk". If you want truckloads, I can import them.

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.

Maybe you could start with the neccesary things first, then expand. If you can undercut any competition within a reasonable driving distance, and can remember names well,sell goldfish, dog and cat food, treats, manufactured as well as custom built houses, then add your designer clothing as a small addition, just to see how it goes. You know if your items cost the same or more the traffic will be very low. But yes I think pet sales account for a real good income. Now, location, the better the locatiuon the more it'll cost you. People in towns where traffic is 9 cars long  to the intersection find that corner lots are not as good as they were when cars only lined up 2-3 long. Too busy of an intersection makes it impossible to get in and out. \n\nOr you could purchase a franchise. But here's a clean little example of what it might take to seriously consider such an enterprise:

I've always had the best luck with Fed Ex and UPS, DHL is fairly new to the scene, but from what I;ve heard they're good too, I really think it's about the same for all of them, who ever is easiest for you to use should be the one you choose.

Well, seems like you have two questions here, and since I don't know what they talked about at the summit in SLC today, I'll take a crack at the Santa Cruz question. The primary mode of trasnport will be gondolas, like the ones they use in Venice, Italy, since poor old Santa Cruz (one of my favorite towns!) has been badly damaged by earthquakes since the big one in '86. And I think that a few more will split the town up into little islands and make gondola or motorboat travel a viable option. (I'm half-kidding on this answer, by the way, and hope I am wrong!)

It has made reliable freight transportation more important.  \n\nIf a country cannot safely and effectively move its goods to a country that is buying, the buying country is going to find another supplier.  \n\nThe way it used to be, if you found a source for a product you were stuck with them until you found another source.  Now, with the world economy opening goods are becoming easier to find.  Because of that exporting countries have to make sure that the transactions are a smooth as possible.  The first step is to make sure they have good, reliable transportation.

Highly electronic!  They are putting computer microchips in everything already, and I expect that trend to continue.  I suspect privacy will be a thing of the past, except perhaps for the top bureaucrats, who have the privileges once accorded to the top bureaucrats in the Soviet Union.  There will be much less transportation, because many if not most people will either not have jobs in the conventional sense, or work on-line.  Automation will have made most low-end jobs obsolete.  Transportation will be mostly for recreation and shipping.  Small personal air cars are likely.  Language will have fragmented into specialized subcultures, almost indecipherable to one another.  (You see that already in these questions and answers, with the "newspeak" created for cell phone text messages.)  Hand-made goods will be rare and expensive, but mass produced materials will be much more customized.  You will be able to order to your specifications over the internet, and receive the finished goods by UPS or its successor within a day or two.

Why choose? Why not both?
