Securing centerboard when trucking boat

We will be trucking a Wauquiez Hood 38 some 1500 miles using a boat transport service. The vessel has a centerboard. The trucking company says the centerboard should be completely retracted but others have said that the pennant is not intended to take the sort or road shock loads that the centerboard might exert, and that the centerboard should be lowered onto a relatively soft support, such as a softwood 2x4 placed in the trunk opening. Anyone with any firsthand knowledge of how best to secure the centerboard for the trip?

Thanks, Des

Why? ISn't that contrary to the boat's intended purpose? DSK
