Laws may vary from state to state or even county to county depending on where you are. The usual rule is if your cargo is 4' past the end of your vehicle you need to flag it. If you are uncertain if you should flag it, it is never a bad idea to do so. Its always better to be more careful than to risk getting a ticket or someone running into your cargo.
This depends mainly on what you are going to haul. If you are hauling a few large items that can be strapped down to a pick up truck bed then that may be the best option for you. If you are hauling many small items or boxes then a cargo van may be a better option. Whatever your vehicle need or location may be the following link for Uhaul will help you out. http://www.uhaul.com/trucks/
When you have gear to carry that just will not fit in a cab or bed of a truck easily, a truck cargo carrier may be just the thing to help you get that gear where you need it to go. Stylish and functional, truck cargo carriers come in a variety of styles and colors to suit any truck. Professionally installed, they make a secure platform for carrying gear and equipment and allow drivers to travel with confidence that their cargo is securely and safely held. Whether a roof bag, cargo rack, cargo basket or any of the wide variety of styles is chosen, there is sure to be a truck cargo carrier to fit the needs of any driver regardless of the gear.
If the GVWR is 26,000 lbs. or less, and it's not hauling hazardous materials, no.
Not unless you're hauling something such as contaminated soil, which requires a hazmat endorsement.
If you're hauling hazmat, missing hazmat signs are a federal offense. If you're NOT hauling hazmat, you don't even need the placard frames.
The type of vehicle used for hauling heavy equipment is called a heavy haul transportation. Basically, it's an over-sized truck with a flat bed of sorts. Generally an escort vehicle will either follow or lead the truck (or both) because the truck hauling the equipment takes up more than one lane (it may go into the other lane slightly) and they need assistance to know what is coming up ahead.
If the GVW of the truck exceeds 26,000 lbs., yes. Also, if the truck is hauling a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placards to be displayed, yes, no matter what the vehicle's GVW is.
The sooner the better on reserving your cargo can. Go out there and look at least three different companies. Compare them, test drive and pick the van that is the best overall deal. Keep in mind what the can is going to be used for, hauling heavy equipment or light equipment.
No. The M35A2 has a GVW of less than 26,000 lbs.

Think about what you will be hauling. You need to make sure your engine matches your hauling needs. Another thing to think about is fuel efficiency. A lot of trucks can be fuel heavy. Think about the weather - do you live where it snows often? You will need to look into 4 wheel drive. If you live in a place where it is always warm, it's not something you have to think about (unless you will be off-roading with the truck).
