Ever seen how a UPS driver drives? Full throttle...stop...engine off...throw package...crank engine...full throttle...repeat endlessly.
I don't know what service life they get out of their diesel engines, but I imagine it's good or they wouldn't allow this procedure. It's company policy to drive this way. They are VERY specific about making their drivers drive the way they want them to. They have monitors in the truck watching everything the driver does.
