I don't think it can happen while they are running, but in extreme cold a diesel will have trouble starting as the fuel can gel.
I believe they use I-6's with mamouth displacement because the huge displacement in those 6 cylinders allows for HUGE amounts of torque required to pull there payloads.
It may also have something to do with fuel economy. Running bob-tail (no trailer) they can get about 14mpg and with a full load they can get about 6/7mpg.
