Don't forget, if you winch it up, you still should throw it in gear

I've used one of the premier collector car haulers on a few occasions. He is a major player in hauling cars cross-country to Pebble, down to Amelia Island, etc. He always instructs me to leave the car in neutral; after it's strapped down to load the suspension so the car doesn't rock or sway, then the parking brake is applied. I don't know the rationale for his method but assume it's based on some (perhaps unpleasant) experience in the past, but he's quite insistent on it. Automatic trans cars NOT in Park either.
