    Addicting Game I Play

    I play this addicting game and thought other might enjoy it too.

    The game is based on trucking. Each player starts out with a certain amount of cash to purchase his or her very own truck. You then move your truck from city to city delivering loads of freight, stopping to rest when you have run out of hours of service. You are paid each time you deliver a load to its final destination. With the money you earn you purchase fuel and pay to maintain your truck. As you build up more cash and experience you can purchase newer faster more economical trucks. You can also purchase accessories which make your truck go faster or give you better fuel economy.


    Players join together and create companies. Companies bid on freight contracts with varying number of loads that need to be delivered to a certain city in a given amount of time. Freight contracts have a higher pay per mile than regular freight that is offered by the game, so belonging to a company is beneficial in making the most money possible in the fastest amount of time. If a freight contract is not completed on time a penalty is assessed to the company. Players within the company are assigned positions such as Vice President, HR managers, Contract Manager, Financial Manager, ect. Players within the company are also given assistance for such things as fuel purchases and repair costs of maintaining their trucks for being a member of the company. In exchange a percentage of each drivers load is given back to the company. Each company is assigned a CB channel where company members can ask for help, chat and discuses game strategy.

    Companies compete against each other to see who can have the most money. I'm currently a member of the #2 company in the game, Colossus Freight. If you would like to join us and have some fun, sign up for an account at the following link.

    You are now allowed up to four drivers per one IP address. This was intended to allow family members from the same household to play. Pretty much every player in the game now has four drivers.

    I hope you join back up and join my company. We need all the help we can get to get to first place.

    If you do join, make sure to let me know. Post your drivers name here and I will message you in the game and help you get started.

    We could use all the help we can get if anyone is interested in signing up for the game and joining the company I'm with. We are trying to overtake the #1 rated company in the game. We are currently in the #2 spot.

    I would suggest Euro Truck Simulator if you computer is good enough to run it, its European Trucks but it still gets the same aspect, I play the demo for hours and hours.
