Loaded my first car on a trailer backwards for 2 years straight

I was hauling my buddy's Corolla from Denver to Phoenix last month and a guy at the scales asked why my straps went across the windows instead of the wheels. Turns out I had the car facing the wrong way on the trailer the whole time and never realized it because it still balanced fine. Has anyone else found out they were doing something basic totally wrong after years of thinking they had it down?

I mean isn't that actually safer for aerodynamics since the windshield takes the wind head-on?

Actually the open flat back end catching air is way worse for drag than a windshield facing forward.
