If UPS used Mercedes diesels they could probably save an engine change
or two.

Texas UPS driver surpasses 1 million miles in his delivery truck
without accident

PALESTINE, Texas (AP) _ A routine package delivery turned into a
milestone for a UPS driver in East Texas. Brent Boyd, 51, on Thursday
surpassed one million miles on his UPS delivery truck, the same vehicle
he's driven for 22 years with the company.
The odometer on Boyd's 1987 GMC truck rolled over to all zeros as he
began his delivery route near Palestine. He said he's never had an
accident with his company vehicle.
Boyd told The Associated Press that his truck's gone through at least
three engines and been repainted several times.
But he's resisted offers for a new van. Boyd says the truck is "like
home" and feels like "sitting in the recliner in your house."
Palestine is 105 miles southwest of Dallas.
