Why do you need to "get a head start on the curb" if you can do it

"without dropping one of the trailer wheels over a curb"?


Around here the streets are graded to be a bit higher in the center, sloping off to the gutter/curb and then you have a bit of an incline up to the sidewalk and on to your driveway.
We get a lot of rain here and I suppose that helps it run off to the storm sewers.
If I didn't get a head start from the middle of the street, I'd be pushing 2000 lbs uphill from a standing start.
A few years ago.. maybe.. now, I like to conserve my strength for where it's really needed.
