Have you considered putting it on top of two pickups, one at each end?

Wouldn't you take a chance of twisting or bending the mast as one truck
hit a pothole of dip in the road while the other stayed level?
I'd heard of some sailors who don't want to use a tongue mast crutch
when trailering their dingy. Seems with one end tightly fastened to the
boat and the other to the tongue mounted crutch, the mast can't flex
uniformly.
