I think 40 tons?) and the goose neck wasn't properly connected. He went over a big bump, y'know those really nasty expansion joints along I-495 in Mass?, well it came apart. The dozer slid off the front of the trailer and dug a hole about 12 feet wide, 15 feet long and 2 feet deep. The company had to rebuild the road and got all kinds of fines. Talk about a bad day!

Looks like that load should be in a van. :mrgreen:[/quote]
yeah only problem is you would have to cut open the side of the van since some of it wont fit thru the doors
