Don't Tip Toilets: Here's Why
After seeing the tipped portable toilet pictured here, a Sioux
Falls, South Dakota reporter decided to remind readers why
that's a bad idea. First, he argued, "What if you need it?"
Second, this type of vandalism is illegal. Third, it makes a
mess. Reasons four and five are tied together. The fourth and

and "you can bet that if you are dumb enough to knock over
a porta-potty, what goes around will come around for you."
Karma will prevail.

How to Recruit Truck Drivers
As we have heard a lot recently, truck drivers are in short

help recruit younger drivers to replace the aging workforce: 1)
Lower the age at which youth can drive a truck (it's now 21);
2) Do a better job of recruiting women and minorities, groups
that are nearly unrepresented in trucking; 3) Find creative ways
to improve driver compensation, including varied options for
pay and scheduling; and 4) Use technology to attract younger
drivers who welcome these advancement in driving.

potty. Was he upset? Did he stop drinking so he could
watch the rest of the game? No. Since his team had
done so well while he was answering nature's call, Derek
figured he had better stay in the portable toilet to ensure a
Razorback win. Happily, that worked.
