If you are referring to "being on an upslope already at a dead stop"...yes, quite often and whenever necessary. Its one of the safest ways to do it.
All you need is to have some jackass get too close to your rear bumper on an upslope, and you neglect to use the trolly brake (aka: Johnson bar)....and roll back into the jackass....its gonna be your ticket and "preventable accident". Just be sure the brakes on the trailer are adjusted properly before doing this....as in a really good PTI. You could get a nasty surprise if the auto slack adjusters aren't, and the previous drivers who had the trailer were idiots too lazy to check or write the trailer up.
