That is not true. Yes, uranium is very dense so it won't be large amount. However, you couldn't simply place 400kg in a single container as it would go critical.

Me and the boys loading our uranium in the truck we rented from Home Depot
Welcome to Uhaul, would you like to rent a moving truck? Excellent! First question: Will you be moving Nazis or Uranium in this vehicle?
“Or?”
i can only hope to dream that both Nazis and 400kg of Uranium were in the same box truck
Geometry matters a LOT. I recall an accident in Japan (Tokaimura, 1999) where a Uranium solution that should be kept in a large shallow tray was poured into a bucket for easier transport, and this made all the difference in criticality. The diagram is for scale, actual shape is surely different.
