Hi there,
This a picture of a blue water fountain at a McDonalds in Patterson, CA where we had to stop to call dispatch. Our load was dispatched with unloading appointments that could not be met, legally.
Wow, you'd wonder how planning thinks, sometimes. Final word was, "just do what you can"

This is the only place you can park a big rig and there is only room for maybe eight trucks, it also has gas so it is really busy everybody parks where they can, but you get a $50.00 ticket if you park in certain areas. There is a man who can't speak who directs traffic, he has a card that tells you how much the ticket will be to warn you and he let's you know when a space will be available. Pretty cool,we couldn't wait so we kept on driving to Vernon,CA. Nobody starts work at this place till midnight, so it was along wait from 6p.m. and it was first come first serve and no loading docks like normal you had to back in on a slant. One truck at a time.
