Default Flat Beds and Corvettes

I will be putting tires on probably in the Spring and am undecided on RFs or standard tubeless. I carry a jack and a kit to repair a flat tire, But If I had to call a flat bed for anything is their or are there any things I should be wary of?

Do flat bed truckers know what they are doing with these cars or is there something special I should look for and correct?

I have never needed a tow truck in my life. But i think this car will break that record at some point.

My GS has gone on and off numerous flatbeds at Daytona, Palm Beach, Sebring, Talladega, and here in Wisconsin, and every driver I hired knew what he was doing. The only issue is clearance of the front splitter on a ZR1 Z06 GS and wood or race ramps will be needed. If your vette is a base in your avater, loading on and off would be even easier than mine.

All C6 vettes have four "T" hook slots in the frame and all drivers I have hired carried T hooks (used to secure the car durring transport) and IIRC they all carried some wood.
