What is the law reguarding red flagging cargo on a flat bed truck?

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.


Would you advise a pick up truck or a pick up van for long distance travel?

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.

What kind of vehicle is used for the hauling of heavy equipment?

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.

What are specific features to look for in purchasing a pickup truck to make my small construction business more effective?

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).
