Game Description

Operate Your Private Trucking Business and Drive 18 Wheeled Semis All Over the Country!

You are the owner of a brand new trucking company and you answer to no one. Ship cargo around America and raise your trucking empire to become America's number one carrier.

Live the Life of a Self-Employed Trucker

Start with nothing but a truck and build your trucking empire. You must deliver your cargo on time or it'll cost you money and future jobs.

Don't rush too fast because you'll damage your rig and don't forget to hit the rest stops along the way or you'll be sorry.

Travel America's Finest Cities Along the Way

Establish your company headquarters in one of 20 American cities including: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C.

Travel real interstate highways to ship cargo like:

  • mobile homes

 And that is just a few things you can ship.

  • In "Become a Millionaire," be the first competitor to reach the $1 Million mark to win.

54321 great game, Oct 31, 2009

This is THE BEST truck driving simulation that I have ever played. It is very realistic and the graphics are great.

43211 chris's review, Oct 28, 2009

by Christian DeStefano (nebraska)

The overall game play of the game is pretty fun. You get to travel America with different types of semis and loads from different companies. The one bad thing I don’t like about the game is that if you are attempting to get up a hill, it is pretty hard to get up it. In the new 18 wheels of steel games you can get up the hills with no problem at all. There are some hills in the game that you need to charge if you don’t have a strong enough truck like the one near Kansas… I think…. all around it is a very fun game if you like this type of game play…

43211 More than Driving, Oct 14, 2009

by Chris (Pittsburgh, PA USA)

Well what can I say. It’s a very good game. As close to real as you can get in my opinion. This game is about more than just driving a big rig and isn’t that the point. Sometimes it’s not just the driving that is important, it’s also about what you’re hauling. Big rigs hauling construction rigs that gives you a sense of power and fun that you can’t get from Auto driving.

Support 18 Wheels of Steel: Across America Player Comments

  • "When I was downloading this game, my expectations were very low. I did not think it was possible to make a driving game that lets you drive about the country and not severely lag or have loading screens. This game, did quite surprise me. I enjoyed the fact that driving from city to city was more enjoyable and realistic that most attempts at the simulation genre. The car AI was very realistic and polished the game's overall gameplay." - ChampaYne from Pittsburgh, PA USA, 5/5 stars
  • "Another great driving simulator from SCS software. A must have for all budding truckers out there! Well worth the money! A great buy!" - Jordy boy from tampa, FL USA, 4.5/5 stars
  • "It's an awesome game experience of the real trucking world. I liked it because it had good graphics and plus the loads payload is very realistic. The game was fun and it's worth the time to download. The full version price I think is reasonable. I think people over 11 years of age could understand how to play the game with ease." - Ryan Robinson from Kingston, Ont CAN, 4.5/5 stars
  • "Im not normally into these kind of games... My friend told me to download it and I said no those kinds of games were boring. Then I played it and loved it! Theres no way for me to buy the full version.. which made me mad because its such a good game!" - Matt from Kentucky, USA, 4.5/5 stars
