The game includes a great variety of trailers, rigs and more than 30 types of cargo including livestock, chemicals and mobile homes, among many others. It features good graphics and sounds, but not outstanding with a pretty repetitive music. However, I'm sure that those who love driving simulation games are going to enjoy it very much.
