Game Description
Operate Up to 35 trucks to Deliver Goods to 30 Cities All Over North America!
With 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal, you have only one goal: make it in the world of long-haul trucking! Accept jobs and move cargo all across North America - Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
It's a race against the clock because for maximum profit you need to get it there on time and undamaged.
18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal is a very realistic tycoon-type trucking simulation game which mixes the best of two worlds: business and driving!
Once you make a little money, upgrade your trucks, take on more lucrative jobs, and much more. Live out the quintessential rags-to-riches story!
Start Small and Work Your Way Up!
You begin your first game as a low-level trucker - just an employee working for the Man. As you move along, successfully completing deliveries, you'll soon have the means to become an owner operator of your own truck!
The fun doesn't stop there, though: keep on doing what you're doing and you just might make it all the way to the top to become a company boss and build the largest trucking company around!
Once you've reached the pinnacle of the profession, you have the option to start new games at any of the three levels, providing the most varied game experience.
Completely Open-Ended Gameplay Gives You the Freedom to Roam
Pick your headquarters from all the major cities on the North American continent. With 30 destinations to deliver to and lots of interesting jobs to take, 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal comes with a huge game environment that'll have you lost in the world of trucking!
Choose any of 35 different trucks based on real-life models, and pick your favorite paint jobs for the coolest looks! Once you get out on the road, there's a lot of work to do with over 45 different types of cargo to transport from place to place.
Sure, you can haul cars, logs, and pipes, but you can also haul army vehicles, dinosaurs, and nuclear waste!
A Very Realistic Trucking Simulation With Sharp Graphics and Lifelike Physics!
18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal is a game that's easy to learn and fun to play, but at the same time it has lots of elements which let you feel like you're really driving an 18 wheeler.
Watch your brake fluid level and your fuel tank - it wouldn't do to run out of gas in the middle of nowhere! Adjust things like traffic density, police activity, and fatigue effects to fit your preferences.
A Few Things You'll Have to Deal With
- bad weather
- road hazards
- accidents
- and truck maintenance
Just like the real thing!
Cool Details
Your trucks are visually detailed and handle like real big rigs, and there's an almost endless expanse of beautiful natural landscapes.
But wait, what are you admiring the scenery for? You've got a deadline to meet, get a move on!

Nice game but not that effective, Nov 15, 2009
by KSHITIJ (Manchester; UK)
A nice game which is really a game that shows the problems of a trucker. It’s a lot of fun to manage a truck and especially with a heavy load as you drive your mammoth over thousands of mile. But not that effective, but you should try 18 wheels of steel haulin.
how this teaches people that want to drive trucks but they can't., Oct 14, 2009

I found that this game was a good learning opportunity for me. My dad was a truck driver so that’s what I am going to do when I get my commercial license and my truck, which if I can afford a Kenworth W900 sleeper the color would be black. This game allows people to see what truckers do for a living to see how hard it is to be a truck driver.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

I love the pc game, it’s just like driving a real truck. The way the truck handles, the way the gears shift, you can pick your own loads, you also get gas, roadside assistance, you can get rest when you need it, wait for your loads to be ready to pick up, you also can talk on the cb, check out your account, you can also be your own boss, buy your own trucks, start your own company, have people working for you. Also, I just love everything about it and more.

18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal Player Comments
- "The ability to freely drive through many different cities and deliver many different types of goods is great. Choosing from many different trucks and trailers, you work for or own a trucking company and deliver goods to major cities across America...18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Medal is a great game and is definitely worth the money to upgrade the trial version to the unlimited access version." - Dan from Pittsburgh, PA, USA, 5/5 stars
- "18 wheels of steel pedal to the medal is a excellent game. When i played it the first time i was amazed of how good the graphics were. i was also surprised in how accurate the map and highway is. whoever created this game i give that person alot of credit because this is the most excellent driving game i have ever played!!!" - Sebron maze from Sycamore, IL,USA, 4.5/5 stars
- "18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal is the best game ever. The object of the game is to deliver your cargo to the destination on time. You get to drive all over the US and parts of Mexico and Canada too. While delivering the cargo, you have to be careful not to do anything illegal (like driving on the wrong side of the street), or else the cops will start chasing you. Also, if you drive too fast and hit something, you might lose your trailer, so you have to drive responsibly. You also have to remember to keep an eye on your gas tank so you don't run out of gas. This game is very realistic. The other great thing about this game is that if you get bored of driving around, than you can become a "truck company owner" and "manage your own business." This game is worth every penny and is the best game ever!!!" - Sam Wyan from NJ, USA
