18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal is a Driving game.

Feel the power. Live the dream. Take your show on the road. Drive your rig to make it big and build your business.

Take your show on the road. Drive your rig to make it big and build your business. Money talks when you're in charge, so get the peons to do the driving while you count your cash. You're not only a trucker, you're a tycoon.

In this next installment of the series, you will transport cargo across America, Mexico and Canada with your rig. There are over 45 types of cargo and 35 different rigs to choose from.

You start the game as an employee. You need to drive the routes and carry the cargoes that your boss assigns to you. If you are able to earn $100,000, you will get the opportunity to advance to Owner Operator.

As an Owner Operator, you will have the ability to upgrade your rig the way you want, or even buy a new one. You will also be able to choose your routes and your cargoes. This will give you the freedom to go where you want and see the sights while bringing in the big bucks.

Ready to take it one step further? Become the Company Boss and you will run your company… into the ground, or into the money. This is similar to Owner Operator, but you will be focusing on your company rather than driving.

Avoid the law and avoid damaging your goods… either one will reduce your money quickly. Drive through various weather conditions as well as night and day. Drive on highways, city streets, and dirt roads. Watch out for deer, construction, wrecks, and more… So much to do and you have to do it within the time frame, or you'll lose money (unless you turn that option off).

Players are the boss and call the shots in 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal. They will earn the big bucks to buy their own truck, build their business and hire drivers to do the dirty work. Bidding on jobs, weighing the hazards and payoffs of each delivery, gamers will then hit the road to deliver their goods faster than the competition. Logging thousands of miles, from Mexico to Canada and sea to shining sea, with tons of cargo and thousands of dollars behind them, gamers will navigate real world conditions that stand between them and their deadline. Maneuvering around road hazards, accidents and severe weather, players will also have to navigate bustling city traffic, dodge speeding tickets, stop at weigh stations, refuel at truck stops, and avoid falling asleep at the wheel. Building a successful trucking business depends on receiving the maximum payout from each delivery. Overloaded or carelessly handled goods will slow delivery times and reduce payments. As players progress they will use their cash reserves to upgrade their truck, buy a new one and hire drivers to build their trucking empire.
