Just a comment from a 74F L/M;
We generally don't use tail-stands either. We've had a couple of incidents over the years where they've slipped off the attachment point, puncturing the APU area. Not only that, but unless a tailstand is constantly monitored/adjusted, you can put too much stress on the aft body area. And last, but not least, any Loadmaster worth his salt shouldn't require one (ok so there are special situations, but in general...)
My tuppence worth.
