Summary
Players are the boss and call the shots in 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal. Gamers will start off as a trucker...and retire a tycoon as they get behind the wheel of 35 different big rig trucks, including 18 wheelers, flatbeds and tankers. They will earn the big bucks to buy their own truck, build their business and hire drivers to do the dirty work. Bidding on jobs, weighing the hazards and payoffs of each delivery, gamers will then hit the road to deliver their goods faster than the competition. Logging thousands of miles, from Mexico to Canada and sea to shining sea, with tons of cargo and thousands of dollars behind them, gamers will navigate real world conditions that stand between them and their deadline. Maneuvering around road hazards, accidents and severe weather, players will also have to navigate bustling city traffic, dodge speeding tickets, stop at weigh stations, refuel at truck stops, and avoid falling asleep at the wheel. Building a successful trucking business depends on receiving the maximum payout from each delivery. Overloaded or carelessly handled goods will slow delivery times and reduce payments. As players progress they will use their cash reserves to upgrade their truck, buy a new one and hire drivers to build their trucking empire. [ValuSoft]

Great trucking game, and highly recommended. The best part is the radio/jukebox, which you can customize to your own tastes; I myself prefer TV theme songs, mostly of the past. That aside, there is a lot of maneuverability, and the map is great. The traffic is not bad either.
Renato L gave it a10:
FANTASTIC- The game was great . The graphics unbelievable. Brazil
John L gave it a10:
Good game but I was wondering if anybody could answer me a question, I typed in the all cheat and got all the money and stuff but all the trucks arent there do I have to go to different dealerships?
Marko M. gave it a9:
I'm amazed that this series keeps getting better and better, with newer features and improved graphics and AI. It's not that much different from previous titles, but different enough to recommend people to get. It's hard to believe that a budget truck simulation could be so rich on multiple levels (driving and business), but also relatively easy to jump into. It's unrealistic in that you have to speed everywhere to get to places on time, but that's what also makes this sim a little more fun. There's nothing like topping 100 mph in an unstoppable rig and then realizing that your exit is coming up, swerving to miss stopped cars and flying around the corner at 30-40 miles per hour because you couldn't slow down in time.
Grand A. gave it a10:
Excellent truck driving game! The graphics are great and the game is very realistic. I for one am a fan of driving games, and this is no exception. It has the perfect size map and a lot of cool looking trucks, and with the graphics and maneuverability as well, I rate this game a 10 out of 10!
Lucas C. gave it a10:
Its great because I am a person who likes trucks and bieng near them buy yet I have not been inside one but I had towed one before with our 1995 International lift truck. But for me this is a great game.
Quinton K. gave it a10:
Its great because it make me want to be a truck driver for life.
