If you're using stone for a construction of some sort (A giant tower, or pyramid, or road)  Then you're best bet is to build a masons workshop right next to where the stone is comming from.

Designate a 3x3 or so bar/block stockpile next to it, taking only stone blocks.

Then, tell your mason to make stone blocks.  You can fit 10 blocks into a bin.

You then set up another 3x3 or so bar/block stockpile next to where the construction is taking place, and remove the old stockpile.   Super-dwarves carrying 10 stones at once to their destination.

A lot less difficult than having people carry stones all over the place, although it doesn't do any good for your mason/craft workshops.
