What I've learned the past two months is that there is no such thing as a standard flatbed trailer. I've moved my car to five different places using three different trailers and every time it is a nightmare. Usually the the trailer is too high and the ramps are not sufficiently long enough to provide a good angle for getting the car on without damaging it. If it is your only option, you have to build 'stairs' with pieces of wood and drive up on them so that you change the angle that the car is hitting your ramps. I decided this last time to rent a Uhaul car transporter (not dolly) and it was amazing how easy it was. The ramps are really long, the trailer is low, I singlehandedly pushed the car on without it running, and I had plenty of clearance. Honestly spend the money if the trailer you have isn't going to work. I can tell you from experience that you will hit the front, drag the rear, and empty your wallet fixing it. You will need to get momentum to get it up the ramp and the lack of weight in the front could turn the wheels when you hit the ramp and you risk dumping the whole car off (I've personally seen that done to someone's replica before).
Best of luck.
Looks like the winch cable pulling the car onto the flatbed.
Frank,
If it's a tow truck operator from southeast Texas, he just has it wrapped around the bumper! 
Probably hooked to the beam---if it has one.
Yes, the cable was attached to the beam. There's nothing else up there to attach to.
Would it have been easier to pull the heavy end first? I have often thought what I'd do in such circumstance as this.
You can see what was needed to get mine onto a flatbed without damaging anything.
Good point Jim.
Libel worries....? We were in a canyon 60 miles East of Spanish Fork, Utah with the sun going down and needed a tow... pronto. Called 911, they gave us the numbers of two tow truck companies and one showed up 20 minutes later. We were just damn glad they showed up and saved our asses. The operator ran a first class unit and respected my car. Used blocks like Ron showed and all was good. Libel / Schmible ? When the shyt hits the fan, aim the gun right and shoot your last bullet.
Why would you hook the car up from the rear?
Unfortunately, the front and rear of the car body hangs down quite low compared to the height of the torsion bar tubes so there really isn't anything convenient to attach to without lower body interference with the tow straps or cable.
Even on my single car hauler, which sat pretty low, I had to use a pair of planks under the bottom of the ramps to keep the exhaust system from scraping the ground while loading. If I had to load a dead car and use my winch, I had a special fixture on the trailer rear brace to pull the cable down low to clear the car body until it was well up on the ramps and then I pulled the fixture and pulled the rest of the way without it.
Some of the tow-truck operators are very good at working with lowered cars. Many others, however, are not.
i've also used hills to my advantage loading onto flatbeds.
