I had Hard Truck on CD, played it once and that was it. Didn't like it at all.

hard truck 2 is a thousand times better, I dont like version one either

I think it was partly because the graphics were so 1980's. The cars were a box with wheels, as were the trucks. I know I kept getting speeding tickets when I was doing a West Coast run down the 10. You don't even drive thru real cities in HT1. You drive thru a "city" and it looks more like a ghost town with just a few buildings.

There is an on-line game that is not bad at trukz.com Its also free

Try the 18 Wheels of Steel series, better than hard truck.

I like plain, old Scrabble. I'm not so technical!

I been palyin for like a week and i cant make no money i keep breakin even. But i keep runin over my HOS and there givin me alot of tickets. So i stop doing that and am makin very little. I join a company TEAMSTERS local 95 they take 10% so they will help witht he cost of fuel and fines. How do you make money oh ya can you hire drivers????

Took a little while to figure out that it's somewhat realtime based. I couldn't figure out how to get my fatigue level down. So, now on my 1st run I am 58 miles from the destination and have to sit - literally...

The truck is def a POS - 49mph top speed :lol:

Wish there was a lease-purchase deal somewhere in it - get a truck that can do at least 70mph with a decent mpg rating.

i went out and bought "18 wheels of steel, haulin" the other day, but i need a better game card for my computer, bc even after making everything as low a resolution as i could, the game still jumped every second, making it impossible to play...but from what i could play, it seemed pretty damn cool

You also need to select what commodities you haul. At first I didn't change it, just figured it would haul whatever was supplies at that city. If you don't selct, you will haul general cargo. Once I started selecting, and trying to go to cities with that need (hilited in red when you look at different destination) I started making some money. Hire on with a company, and they will help also. I think mine (Firehouse 27) pays 30% on fuel, 10% on repairs, and takes 11% of my take, or something like that. Main thing is the fuel assist helped alot. Different companies have different assists. Run your fatigue level to 11 and you won't get a ticket. at 12 or beyond you risk that. Also costs you experience points, whatever those do for you.
Have fun!

Nope - Fatigue level higher than 10 can get a ticket - I've had 2 now in 3 runs going from my 10th to 11th hour.

am hauling 50,000lbs of cars on a short run only pays 286.00 i just got to tickets for overweight at 300 a pop. So that 600 in fines boy i aint making no money on this run am really in the hole dont run overweight.
