Trucker

Publisher's blurb

Trucker is a program which simulates the problems facing a long-haul truck driver. Ideally, you can make a good living hauling freight coast-to-coast without exceeding the legal load limit. If all goes well, you can obey the speed limits and stop each night for eight hours sleep and still make the time schedule. On a good trip you will be able to earn well over $1,000. however, even the best drivers run into occasional streaks of bad luck and may barely break even.
