The transporter I use is a major name in the business, he moves many high end cars from NJ to the likes of Amelia Island and Pebble, for example. For the '56 we shut off the T/L and also disconnect the battery, transmission in neutral, parking brake on, and he straps to the axle tubes in the rear and lower A-frame in front. Don't cross tie the straps! Even on a short move he will recheck the straps after a couple of hundred miles.

The suspension damage that happened to the Request on a recent move should be enough to remind us that that we should never assume a carrier is familiar with Packard's T/L system or that the T/L should be kept active during a move.
