    My understanding is that turning off and on a diesel engine is not great for it or something like that. Sorry, my grandpa was a mechanic and I’m half remembering something he said.

      Ya it’s more wear and tear. It was more true with older engines than newer ones. Newer trucks have a more complex starting mechanism that’s easier on the engine.
