Cover the radiator?

This is just something I was wondering about, would it be a good idea to cover the radiator, either fully or partially to help th ecar warm up faster as we get into the colder months? I know that school buses, and big trucks do it. I did it when I had a thermostat stuck open and couldn't get it fixed for a while, due to its placement on a Toyota Previa, which was on the lower radiator hose, and under the entire van. Just curious, or would the diesel giant t-stat mod be a better way to to get the car up to temp faster? Obviously the block heater will help, but at work I don't have access to a place to plug in, and I work evenings.
