18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal (PC Games)

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]
