    Learned today from the dispatchers here that as of next weekend there will be no more Fontana and everything will be at Mira Loma.......we are in Fontana at least once a week, sometimes just over night and sometimes for our reset and I love coming to Fontana because it is small. Do not like Mira Loma at all!!

    The new Mira Loma lot looks alot nicer and I can't stand having to go to Fontana to get my driver and he can't stand it when he has to go to Fontana because Mira Loma is full. I was just at ML this morning dropping him back off at the truck since he got to come home for the night. Give it a chance and know that they have increased the parking there as well.

    I've known for a few months, as has my driver, that this change was coming. We didn't know when but knew it was soon. I will make sure he passes the info on to the other drivers he knows who frequent our area.

    Going to miss that terminal. Always was able to get a good load from them out of there, they were friendly, and the one food truck was decent and the BBQ guy at night. I think in 3 years, been to ML twice, and hated it both times. I think that my running days to CA might be over now.

    Our Salt Lake terminal is soon to be history as well.
    We are moving to the Central facility.

    A welcome change by me.
    I was there last week. It is much larger, and very much nicer.
    A bit spread out, so get used to walking more there.

    Real shower rooms that are as nice as most truck stops.
