What it is
18 Wheels of Steel: Convoy is a trucking simulation from SCS Software, released in 2005. It puts you in charge of a business that begins with one truck and grows through bidding on delivery jobs and building a fleet. Larger contracts call for convoys, while your reputation depends on completing work well; turning down the wrong job can also affect your standing with competitors. You can drive more than 35 rigs and trailers, carry over 45 cargo types, and travel among more than 40 cities across the United States and Canada. Jobs can be found at cargo docks, gas stations, highway motels, and other meeting points. The game is single-player and is listed for Windows. Its focus is on growing a trucking operation from an individual hauler into a network of big rigs, with police attention adding a risk to running a large convoy.
