Stumbled across this the other day thought I'd pass it along. Pretty fun game if you like 18 wheeler simulation games.

a real life simulation game, holy wow. Neat but too slow for my taste

 

I used to play a game kind of like that ages ago. Like back in the 80's. It was all text based and pretty simple though.

Ok, Im a nerd Im heading off to play.

Later.

 

Every now and then I play 18 Wheels of Steel: Convoy. Really nice!

 

gotta love the big rig games

 

Same here 18 Wheels of Steel Across America. Awesome game, just want some more updates.

 

Yeah I remember those Torets from back then. go left go left go left go up go left go up haha

oh a spider attack, spider attacks you attack spider attacks you Spider wins. Good memory skills games. Its a harder to remembe where everything is when you make the map and game in your head

 

ok im not seeing the rest stop or rest button anywhere.

 

Stop Playing...... You need a real life hour to regain Fatigue points ( I know it SUX)

 

That is the only bad part is having to log out to rest so you can get back on the road. I am still trying to figure out how to know when to make repairs to the truck and upgrade to a newer truck. I know I just have to make more trips and buildup more money but it takes forever at 50 mph.

 

You have to have at least $100 to get the rest stop option. I am over there, actually I have my own company over there; Blowin Smoke Trucking Co. We have two terminals, lots of diesel heads for employees. Here is a link - http://www.trukz.com/company_display.asp?ID=249

 

I have $100 but saw no option for the rest stop... it's something that appears on the route menu as you're driving?

 

What I did for the first couple of trucks (by the way start off with the most expensive truck you can afford and save save save for a decent truck under 500K miles on the clock) is just take the longest highest paying route. You wont make time not having the fastest truck so you dont get driver rating up but you get a couple of grand for the trip. By longest trip I mean heading to northern Alaska and then down to panama if you can. When you are choosing your next place to go, the locations that have red items they need pay the most from your location. Once you get a better truck (about 30K) you can start being a bit more selective about your routes. I pick my routes by what is the highest grossing route now. You see those through game statistics. Its out of Albuquerque this time, but it changes sunday and thursday.

The way you get back fatuge points is by doing something else. Leave that website for a few hours and you get a few fatuge points back. It takes 10 hours of not playing to get 10 fatuge points back. You can quick rest once a day for 100 bucks, but you only get 2 points back for that. Dont go over you will crash or get tickets. Both cost money but tickets mess up your driver rating.

 

you only get one a day too. my 48 mph rustbucket broke down again. it depreciates faster than the money i can make

 

So if you just stop playing you can get your fatuige points back? I on;y have 50 dollars to my name and am going to Ft Lauderdale. I'm also a independant trucker.

Keep"er between the ditches.
