New Pilot in Rialto, CA

With all of the commercial warehouses at that exit, if you score a Free parking spot, you better run in and buy a Lottery ticket.

 

I forgot I stopped there back in July. There were 20 signs all over saying, No Bobtail or Long-Term Parking. Completely ignored. It was full of Bobtails with nobody in them. Even parked on the car side as well. I couldn't pick up until the next morning, so I went down the street to the new Ayres hotel.

 

BTW...Ayres Hotel Rialto, Ca., Bobtail only. No room for a trailer.

 

That’s barely a truck stop.

 

UPDATE...Stopped for the night yesterday, Bobtail. Legally parked, where I thought I would be out of the way, along an unmarked, long curb, as to not take up a space for a Tractor/Trailer. Not there 2 minutes, luckily hadn't even shut the engine off yet, and some foreigner comes right up against me, for no reason, and makes a U-Turn. As soon as he started, I knew he was going to hit me with the tail swing. I quickly lunged forward to get out of the way. There was another driver walking and he threw up his hands at the U-Turn driver yelling, "WTF ARE YOU DOING!!! WHY DID YOU GET SO CLOSE!!!" He walked over to me, shaking his head, and said, If you hadn't had moved, he would have torn your whole truck apart. Around Midnight, I hear a truck pull up next to me. Look out the window it's a Bobtail, Double Parking. Now I see a Truck/Trailer double parked along the guy in front of me. They had left me enough room to get out, but the guy in front of me was blocked in. Within 30 minutes 2 Bobtails try and double park in that open space and block me in. The first one didn't speak a word of English, but understood my simple hand gestures and drove away. The second guy I just gave up and said, "Here take the ##!@$ spot, I'm moving. I couldn't risk falling asleep and getting blocked in as I had to leave at 3 A.M. So, I moved over to a spot along a red painted Fire Lane for the next 2 1/2 hrs. Never parking at this place again. On a side note...Just watching truckers park I was amazed at how they just won't GET THE F!@$# OUT OF THE TRUCK AND G.O.A.L. Even trucks with 2 drivers, the passenger just sits there.

 

I always street parked in the warehouse districts around there. Dont even mess with the truckstops. the casino out in cabazon/banning is always good for a parking spot and dont gotta worry about getting ur hood taken off. Lots of times id park there and bounce into the city in the morning.. running in and out of LA couple times a week i got plenty of hidey holes around there if u ever need one
