The 744F has a fitting under the tail specifically for a tail support stand. Either that or nosegear tiedown straps (to dedicated fittings in the concrete) are used at most stations that regularly handle the 744F.

If the forward lower cargo compartment is empty, it is easy to get a too-far-aft CG when unloading from the main cargo door.
