If you like being rewarded, this is your game. You start as an employee and work your way up to a business owner by earning money and experience points (both per load). Once you get enough money and experience points you can employ other drivers who will make you more money. Technically, this game is a bit better than mediocre. The landscape and cars are repetitive, but if you like the idea of hauling load after load across roads that are SUPPOSED TO BE America for digital money and status, then this is your game. P.S., If you want a prettier version of this game, look at either German Truck Simulator or U.K. Truck Simulator.
