Overview
Description

Take the wheel of a massive 18‑wheel rig and haul cargo from Key West to San Francisco, racing against the clock and a rival called the Lizard Tail. Choose your driver, truck, and trailer, then navigate highways, use the horn to clear traffic, and slipstream for speed boosts. Between stages you can park for mini‑games to earn extra cash, while strategic decisions about trailer difficulty affect your payout. Master timing, avoid obstacles, and beat the rival to maximize earnings.

Take the wheel of powerful tractor units and tackle the toughest hauls, from standard heavy cargo to monstrous 400‑tonne shipments. Plan routes, manage time, and overcome obstacles like oversized signs and road debris to deliver each freight on schedule. The game emphasizes realistic logistics: choose the right semi‑trailer, gauge loading facilities, and adapt to special transports with unusual dimensions. Precision planning and calm problem‑solving are key to keeping your haul running smoothly.
