railroads in USA will not longer move livestock. If you want to move cattlem but do not have a truck, call a stockyard and ask if they reccomnd any owner-operators.

Hmm, you might want to contact the Association of American Railroads (AAR), they should be able to get the information you need on Louisiana's railroads.  Best of luck to you!

All in one lump?\n\nGoogle "100 ton crane"\n\nThere are many shipyard cranes that can do this.\n\nGoogle "rolling platforms"\n\nIf it is divided up a train can move it.\n\nYou may want to check out "Euclid Trucks"  or "Ore trucks"\n-- I don't know what the max there is.\n\nMight be some "Mining shovels" too.\n\nFor airplanes, the Russians make a very big one called an Antonov something.  Google "Antonov Heavy Airlift"\n\nProbably needs new tires often, and very strong runways.\n\nThat's all I can think of, ships are too obvious. Keep it under 13 feet height to use highways.  Maybe some special routes for 13.5 and higher, you need the Master Truck Router, for that.  Why not Google it to see what comes up?

Bigger is always better even when it comes to moving trucks.\n\nJust like everything else this rule of thumb also applies to space in a moving truck:\n\nIt is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

The railraods were the most efficient way to get crops/livestock to market quickly and cheaply. Conversely railroads brought equipment, mail, and people to the farming communities that grew up around the railstop towns.

don't let the cows get all worked up an nervous about anything.  i think a border collie to tend the herd would help.  so would a mule or donkey.  they'll kick the hell out of a yote.

they have trailers that haul the animals but it depends on how far my guess they would haul them in trailers

Yes, I think they all do.  In college I used to drive a truck for NorthAmerican Van Lines.  And we'd always have more than one persons property on our truck at a time.  Typically 2 or 3 houses on a truck.\nThey'd be happy to charge you some money to ship it for you.  They'll just want to know the size and weight.

Laws about livestock are governed by city. If you are asking because you need to actually do this, look it up in your city ordinance code. It'll either be online, at the local library, or down in City Hall.\n\nI live in Houston (within city limits), and there are some very nice people who occasionally ride their horses down our street. However, they do tend to cause traffic congestion, so they stay in neighborhoods and away from busy streets.

I would guess that the exact routes would depend on weather and sea conditions. Also, each shipping company may have slightly different routes.  You may need to contact shipping companies.  In post-9/11 times, I wonder if this info would be kept quiet.  \n\nHere's a gov doc that gives some info on coal shipping:\nhttp://govinfo.library.unt.edu/ota/Ota_5/DATA/1981/8108.PDF\n\nHere are some other gov docs to look up at your university library:\nCoal supply and transportation model : model description and data documentation\n    E 3.2:C 63/9\nCoal traffic on the Tennessee River Waterway to year 2000\n    Y 3.T 25:2 C 63/11\nCoal transportation study : final report\n    E 1.28:COO/2970-1

This is a rather ambiguous question.  The function of trucks is to deliver commodities from the supplier to the consumer.  It follows the concept of supply and demand.  If either the supply or the demand drops then the need to ship will go down too.  it is not likely the supplier will  drop production voluntarily since profits are base on production.  The primary way to lower transportation needs is for consumers to lower their consumption demands  which do not seem to be probable since we are a materialistic society.

Freight forwarding involves larger shipments to greater distances, usually LTL or less than trailer load. Although some messengers and couriers do handle freight and make long distance runs, the act of doing such is really freight forwarding. Freight forwarding also usually entails picking the shipment up and taking it door to door rather than from manufacturer to depot.
