VA-Almost OH-VA-PA

Almost got a load to Lima, OH, but it was cancelled a few minutes before I moved from Carmel Church. Had already done my route planning and filled out my paperwork. Oh well, that's how it goes.

The Lima load offer came at 1215. The next load offer came at 1500. Hampton, VA to Erie, PA direct. Hampton is 101 miles from Carmel Church so I got paid bonus miles for the deadhead. Arrived in Hampton at 1700 and it took the shipper 15 minutes to find the freight and decide that Erie wasn't in Canada. Don't ask.

Left Hampton at 1730 arrived in Erie at 0315. 653 odometer miles. Started to see a light show going on over Lake Erie about 40 miles south of Erie on 79. Big bolts of lightning that lit up the sky. Poured rain for about 20 minutes and stopped. Sort of anti-climatic actually. Now at a truck stop waiting for the next load.
