    The yard was/is small ... but the terminal itself was completely rebuilt a few years ago and was one of the nicer/cleaner terminals in the network.

    Being small is what I like about it......no walking for forever to get inside, especially carrying laundry or shower bags

    Just wait until you get to the new terminal in Salt Lake.
    The buildings are at least 100 yards away from any other, so you'll get plenty of walking. It is the most spaced out terminal I have ever seen.

    More so than Columbus and Phoenix. I have had my share of walking at these two.

    Yes, it was, plus you had that small truck stop that was not that far of a walk, and between the one food truck that came in and the BBQ guy, you could eat good.

    I hated fontana it was so tight and stunk like pee. When I went to cali I rolled to mira loma every time after. Now as long as we get our own entrance and exit mira will be almost perfect.

    Wow.
    And I don't see anything desirable in Mira Loma, at all.

    Normally I would agree as I HATE Mira Loma (specifically the gate guards) but given how much I used Fontana for my SoCal loads I either give the "new & improved" ML a chance or start trying the truck stops.

    I've yet to see the new and improved ML.
    Where is it?
