    Thats why you just about got to hold a gun to my head to get me into a terminal.... WVC if I'm just getting paperwork for something.... I'll pull into the driveway and do a u-turn and wait for my wife to run up to the offices.

    Once you get on our yards, with the exception of one, you will always go through security to get out. Now the security at many is just a gate that you will talk back to through a speaker. There are only two that I have been to that have the inspection bays. Lewiston is the only one that I know of that does not even have a security gate to come back out of.

    Heck ... Lewiston doesn't even have a gate to get in, much less a gate to get out.

    There are so many ways to get into that place, and can always find parking and a nice Chinese place to eat within walking distance

    I think that is the one terminal I have never been to.

    That's alright. The Chinese food would probably give you the squirts, anyhow.

    You are getting your own entrance and exit, I saw the guard shack in place when I dropped hubby off at the current ML lot not too long ago.

    As long as the new guard shack is populated by anyone but the little Hitler's at the old guard shack, we might have a shot at a decent turnaround time.
     
    truckermetz Thanks this.

    The only thing that matters to me is how close is it to Disneyland? and maybe then San Diego because I have to say been to Fontana plenty while dragging the man to some vacation time or other with the family. 3 CA trips last year and another one in May... And I like Phx at least because as a non Swift driver I just drive in and park or go to the truck (the little one) and swap vehicals. In Fontana I either parked on the street PITA or had to ask the guards to let me in which was also a pain.

    It's closer to both Disney and San Diego since it's a few miles south of Fontana. It is right at the interchange of the 15 and 60.
