I think a molded fiberglass TC on a plastic bed liner is the most prone combination to slide around. With proper tie downs, not a serious problem, but just more likely to move.
I don't think most people understand the purpose of tie downs. They are to prevent movement of the TC due to vibrations, not to literally hold a 4,000 lb TC on a truck bed during a rollover. Think about it, if the forward motion of your truck could blow the 4.000 lb TC out of the bed of your truck, you could not leave the TC unloaded in a wind storm.
