Gameplay
You start the game as an employee of a cargo transportation
company. You will be assigned a lorry and you will be given
instructions on what to do next. Every time you finish your
delivery your employer will automatically plan and assign a
new job for you. Later in the game you may get the opportunity
to change your employer, which may improve your working terms
a little, but generally you will still be following orders.
While employment certainly has its advantages - paid expenses,
no need for burdening yourself with delivery planning, free
lorry at your disposal - it's only a starting point. Once you've
built up some money you can buy yourself your own lorry. After
a time you will probably realize that your professional development
has ground to a halt - you will not be gaining any more reputation,
you will be driving around the same places all the time and
the reward for the work could have been higher - and that you
could be doing much better working for yourself! At that point,
once you buy yourself a lorry, you will become an independent
driver who will be making his own fortune in the trucking world.
It will take some courage to go it alone, but it will be well
worth it!
Going independent will open up a whole new world to you. You
will be able to buy garages across the country, fill them with
lorries and even start up your own transportation company! As
you grow and expand, you will attract more and more logistics
companies which will want to work with you. In time you may
build the biggest transportation company in the UK or you may
go bankrupt! That will be up to you...
The
road network in UK Truck Simulator is based on UK roads
and cities. All trucks use highly realistic, meticulously detailed
models.
The
truck interiors of UK Truck Simulator are as equally
impressive as the exteriors.
With actual working instruments such as flashing indicators,
temperature and low fuel warning lights, wipers, and naturally
- a full set of gauges including speedometer - all built into
the interior 3D model UK Truck Simulator,
just like our previous best selling title Euro
Truck Simulator,
offers a truly immersive simulation environment. The player
can pan around the cabin, just as if they were actually sitting
at the wheel.
