Virginia → Ohio · Interstate 95 / Interstate 64
Punching Cleveland, Ohio, into the GPS for the trip back from Richmond, Virginia, the dashboard once again shows the 675 km (419 miles) separating the two cities along Interstate 95 / Interstate 64 and estimates 6h 26m to wrap up the return. Richmond, the capital of Virginia and historic gateway to the American South, fades in the rear window while the vehicle picks up the homeward path toward Cleveland, the Lake Erie shipping hub and largest city in northeast Ohio. Unlike the outbound leg, it pays to walk around the truck before pulling out — fuel level, tire pressure, dashboard alerts and load straps all deserve a fresh look, because there is less slack to absorb a surprise once fatigue has settled in. Topping off the tank costs roughly $56.49 to cover the same 61.4 liters (16.2 gallons) consumed on the way out. The return reimbursement reaches $290.25 at the $0.43/km benchmark.
