As any trucker will tell you, starting from a dead ass stop is a b****.
Keeping any movement or momentum at all that avoids that is a very good
thing.

What about from a stop uphill?

They happen all the time. BUT you can really have problems if you're not
careful. I'm not talking about rolling backwards either. Because the
engines are designed to pull a LOT of weight it is also very easy to
break the tires loose when you start moving. One of the common results
of this is called a power jack knife. Especially easy to do uphill in
rain/slippery conditions.
