This game actually isn't TOO bad. I'm still playing it actually, dunno why.

I'm having trouble putting this game away, I'm somewhere around day 55. It's a much better game than I thought it would be.

but it seems like they only went halfway with it. without changing the primary game engine much if at all, they could have really turned this game into a sleeper hit.

why didn't they include:
a plot you uncover by tracking truckers from town to town
*anything* that can actually pose a serious threat of damage to your truck
buying and selling of trucks (starting you out with a delivery truck)
allow use of non-trucks for certain missions (possibly even for alternate career paths)
more upgrades--many more... possibly basic weapons and paint/skins
a research system for your trucking company (instead of timing new items by #days)
more freight items (how easy would that have been), including contraband
police checkpoints for said contraband
a proper bank
the guy in the bar might sometimes tell you what towns produce what cheaply
allowing ramming of trucks to knock off cargo which could be picked up
going along with the above one, 'pirate truck' AI to attack you

I know, this is just a simple, stupid game. But putting just a little effort into it and nobody would be able to put this game down. ...oh help me, I don't think I need the sat. navagation anymore...I know the routes by heart...nooooo
