    Maybe one of the bays should have been setup with an automated machine like they have at the CRE yard in Colton. My truck is so caked with road salt and dirt that it's hard to get in and out of it without getting filthy. My best hope is to get rained on somewhere or find a hose at a fuel island so I can at least get the driver's door and catwalk sprayed off.

    I'm kidding around. But there is some truth to it, based on the recent content of this thread.

    I have been here for a year now, and it has had its ups and downs. But overall it has been a good first year Trucking.

    Careful parking on the street in Riverside/ Colton. All of SoCal really. I got a $125 parking ticket for parking on the street in Riverside. It was not a no parking zone. Google commercial vehicle parking ordinance and the city you are in. Pops right up, I had to pay the fine because I didn't know this.

    Read the posted pages in the Windows at the guardshacks, this fine is going up to $200 this month.

    I parked at Royal Truck Stop in Colton the other night. Worth the $15. Goody's restaurant had some good food. Chorizo and cheese omlette for breakfast. Mm.

    @Redtwin there's a new Indian restaurant on I-10 at the Deming Truck Terminal in Deming, NM. Opened up three months ago. I felt you'd wish to know.

    Currently sitting at this "Tiger Truck Stop" off exit 87 in middle-of-nowheresville, TX. Had some good enchiladas. Hot load of LL wood flooring from Pomona to Houston. Only reason I won't make it to Houston tomorrow is because I'm running off recap.

    That would piss me off in a New York minute and this professional parts changer and I would be having words, especially if they are there washing their POVs. :mad:
