OK, what's an Honest John Rocket?
I worked with a guy at a construction company one time, and he told me he was fired from his previous job when he was hauling a D-8 dozer (?? really big one! 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!

The First battlefield NUKE rocket artillery weapon. I imagine his Lietnaunt peed his pants when he got that call and then Article 15ed him down a stripe or 2.

yeah only problem is you would have to cut open the side of the van since some of it wont fit thru the doors

That's why they have flatbeds with sides.
