Yes I searched it, yes I saw all the posts about it.

We could allow dwarves to have dedicated hauling machines worked by
"cart workers" which varient between cart pilot and cart hauler, a cart pilot would move the cart himself and the haulers would move around with their designated cart and move the materials assigned to it, you would designate a stock pile for them to fill with any kind of stone or  metal bar and drop them off at the designated stockpiles.

The only real problem I see is deciding how much a cart can hold, and how big a cart is itself, or if you could possibly even dismantle and reassemble your starting wagon into a wooden cart. Also another issue is deciding if the carts could possibly run along tracks or not, although that would be alot of fuss over nothing considering having more then one cart on a track is another problem entirely so I would not be for that.

Then why post your own thread when there's already a thread discussing it on the first page?   For telling people to 'feel free to discuss it' you seem to be deprecating the people that already are.
