Jacking vehicle onto wheel dollies - Help, please!

Just rec'd a set of wheel dollies ordered to provide extra mobility for our '78 911SC Targa as we work to squeeze 4 vehicles into our 3 car garage for the winter.

I have a chassis mounted jack pad, purchased from our host, with round pad for use with my floor jack. I assume the first set of dolly placements will go well, jacking up one side with the opposite two wheels securely mounted on the floor. What about the second set? Does the car have a tendency to roll away from the jack and pad when the opposite 2 wheels are now on casters?

I paid extra for a heavy duty set of dollies with wheel bearings that I expect will be extra slippery if there is a tendency for the car to shift for the second lifting.

After searching the site, haven't seen any mention of the challenge but thought I'd ask before taking a chance on pulling out the jack pad as the first set of dollies take flight.

(The fourth vehicle is a new post altogether!)

Thanks.

Mike
