I lived in NYC for 35 years and most trucks do not make their deliveries at night.

Fair. That said, the goal is to shift a lot of that delivery traffic to other hours.

There are about 125K truck crossings into Manhattan per day. In a NYC pilot program with receiving companies, carriers, and truck drivers; some participants implementing the off-hour policy at a number of their locations and it went fairly well.

USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL and LaserShip won't do it. Home Depot, PC Richards and other appliance and furniture delivery companies won't do it either. Moving companies won't do it because residential buildings won't let them. That's a pretty large amount of your truck traffic right there.
