New Truck: You get to buy a new truck sooner because the salt eats the one up.

Level Playing Field: Show trucks and 15 year-old junkers look the same when covered with road spray.

Less Offensive Sights: When frozen solid, the one-gallon pee bottle a trucker left sitting by the fuel pump is less offensive than it is when liquid.

Quality Time Increase: You get to spend more quality time with your floor mats in the hopeless effort to keep them clean.

Improved Hygiene:
Because you are changing into and out of more clothes more frequently, the chances increase that you will change your underwear more frequently too.

More Choices: The number of pockets you have on this time of year gives you more places to put (or lose) your phone and keys.

At One With Nature:
Your fingers and toes can become frostbit, helping you to understand exactly how the tree branches feel.

Civic Duty: You do your part to boos the economy by spending more money on fuel additives, truck washes, hand lotion and lip balm.

Reduced Schedule Stress: You don't have to worry about getting to New England in time to see the autumn colors.

Security: You don't have to worry about people sneaking up behind you in entry ways because they give themselves away stomping the snow off their boots.

Larger Market Area: A load offer to Florida is good news because you don't care how long it takes you to get back out.

Improved CSA Scores:
Roadside inspections are less frequent because the bears don't like the cold either.

Opportunity to Prove Yourself: You get to chain up your truck and show you are a man's man. If you are a woman, you show that you can call on your inner man when necessary.

Improved Health:
With the gray days and long nights, and your body clothed from head to tow, sun exposure is minimized and skin cancer risk is reduced.

Bikini Stress Postponed: It will be months before you put on your Bikini again.

Social Enhancements: Your truck wash visits are so frequent that you get to know the guys by name.

Mind Building: Your visions of Hawaii become more vivid this time of year.

Ultimate Satisfaction: Because your truck was so dirty, you experience afterglow when exiting a truck wash.

More EO Time: You spend more time on EO because it's too **** cold to visit with people outside.
