Our take on 18 Wheels of Steel: Hard Truck
The description gives concrete scope for trucks, cargo, cities, and states, but its emphasis on being one's own boss is expressed through job bidding and delivery management rather than a broader business-management system.
What is 18 Wheels of Steel: Hard Truck?
Take truck-driving jobs by bidding on 16 cargo loads, then deliver them across highways in 11 US states.
The game includes 7 trucks, from large 18-wheelers to flatbeds and tankers, and 15 cities to visit. Routes cross desert, mountain, and coastal areas. Road hazards, low fuel, and police can affect delivery timing and cargo condition. Cargo handling also matters: overloaded or carelessly handled goods can delay a delivery and reduce its payout. The work combines driving with choosing jobs and managing loads, with delivery speed compared against competitors. The vendor identifies it as SCS Software’s first truck-driving simulator.
