So therefore you have to stop for food, go to the toilet, sleep (which is already in 18WOS haulin) and add a few more things like being able to get drunk, smoke cigarettes and other emotions add such as being addicted to ciggarets changes yur charecters mood and addiction to alcohol etc. to make other people want to play that arent into trucking so much. And be able to buy your own car and house and have a life outside trucking but have your own truck and get your own jobs from different employers or be an owner driver or have yur own business. Just like 18 WOS haulin but have a life outside of trucking just like sims. :-) i think that a game should be made where they cross sims and 18 wheels of steel haulin.

Surely the existence of a trucking simulator dedicated to GARBAGE TRUCKS is evidence to the contrary? Anyway, count me in as one of the lepers who is, conceptually at least, attracted to games of this ilk. I've not played one that doesn't lose it's novelty value after a short while yet, but here's hoping a developer with the budget, support and time eventually gets to tackle this hot bed of gaming potential. Ahem. …and the say PC gaming is dying. Surely the existence of a trucking simulator dedicated to GARBAGE TRUCKS is evidence to the contrary?
