Can you push the truck right up to the trailer ramps, then start it so all you have to do is fire it up, drop it in gear and pull it up on the trailer? That shouldn't be more than about 20 seconds if you set it all up right in the first place. That shouldn't hurt it, but at 20 seconds your about at the end of your rope, so either get it up on the trailer in that amount of time, or shut it down and let it cool.
