When I put my bronco on a flatbed from Tampa to Charleston I learned a few hard lessons that almost cost me my rig.
Like Chuck said, tongue weight is important. I did not have enough and almost fishtailed out of contol before I even made it out of Tampa. I moved the rig as far forward as I could which left the hitch about 1" off the gound. That was a dumb move but was the only way I could keep it stable considering such a large truck on a itty bitty uhaul trailer that was not built for that type of load.
If you strap down the rear end be mindful of the brake lines.
Oh, don't forget to gas up the tank.
