I will move it as soon as the torque converter is filled up, maybe 10 seconds. even a large diesel truck can be driven conservatively while it warms up. You'll hear all sorts of horror stories and cautionary tales about cold transmission parts and things not being equalized, but the key is no boost and very little torque. I can move a loaded 18 wheeler along cold without taxing any part of the drive train, provided I'm not holding up traffic while doing so.
