    I can't remember the exit this is off of, but anyways, it's the one on the side California Steel is located on for those that know what I'm talking about. Anyways, I pull in, and sign says on the overhead for the pumps that you can't park in fuel isles, fueling only. But there is no place to pull up to park, so you have no choice but to park in fuel isle. So, why not just find a parking spot? Because the sign also says no parking without a permit! So...how does this place make any money? Idk, but they are really busy it seems. I'm surprised, although, they are $5 dollars cheaper to park than the TA's in Ontario. Not really all that clean either. The only real thing I got to say that's good is that their parking is...a little cheap.

    Go to Three sisters over off cherry street, most of them are off of the cherry st exit . It's next to the peterbilt dealer. No charge to park during the day and not a bad little Mexican cafe inside. Plus it's got a truck wash in there as well. I never have trouble getting a spot during the day if I need to park for a few hours.

    Or go up to Etiwanda and go south.....there is a Farmer Boys at Etiwanda and Jurupa with truck parking on the right, it's a bit of a pain to get into but if you hit it right you will find parking....best to turn right on Jurupa then a right into the lot......even better a bit further south on Etiwanda there is Cowboys on the left, they want you to buy a permit but it's a good stop......then further south yet where Etiwanda goes under CA60 there is another Farmer Boys on the left. This is where I always go......I have parked there for 2 or 3 days and no one says a word. Good breakfast and good burgers too!!

    I love Farmer's boys. I know exactly where that is at providing that England has a yard there that I went to regularly when I was with them. I woulda stopped at Three Sisters but considering I was only getting smokes and picking up at California Steel Fontana Truck Stop seemed a little more convienant...but now that u said Mexican food...yum.

    Well, maybe then, but now maybe its just money issues...though I never really have a hard time finding a spot to stop at. I was going 64 and got passed up by three DOTs so to me it seems they just don't care anymore. Course I always go 62-64 when in cali and never had an issue with the law.

    glad I know of 3-4 different places in Ontario I can park at. for free, and for most part safe.

    Most of them do not charge for the first 4 hours. My former company that I just left for a local job has a terminal in Fontana, that is where I stayed when there.
