I like playing this game much better than any of the previous versions. I just wish they didn't put you in a dog truck to start with.
The cops are "johnny-on-the-spot" catching me forgetting my headlights, windshield wipers, and my occasional smashing of a trail of cars that get in front of me in my impatience to deliver my load. :)
Graphics are great, just ensure your video drivers are current. Most issues are related to the drivers.
I do not recommend the patch if you do not need it. I installed it and now my wheel acts strange during play.

The Game is great but I recommend that there should be smaller roads other than the highway like shortcuts leading to a lake and small villages, and farms roads. There should be truck stops to eat and hotels to go and sleep with the man getting out of the truck, putting gas. There should be more locations where you could hire people. There should be where you could use other vehicles, like to load your own truck with, to use at a construction site(Bulldoazers, Fork lift, etc). Another one is to make people walk on the sidewalks in the city. Plus all the cities look similair. If there is a car accident the man should be able to call for help. Other than this the game is fun.

Valusoft/SCS have created a great series in 18 Wheels of Steel. They've constistantly kept the price down (only $19.99) and have made great products. The 18WoS franchise has been a great driving simulator and buisness sim as well as being pretty stable (not counting Convoy).
Unfortunately it seems like the 18WoS series is beginning to get stale and repetitive. In the latest release by Valusoft/SCS American Long Haul has the same graphics as Haulin and pretty much the same premise. You start off with a truck and haul different types of cargo through the United States, Canada and now Mexico (only a few cities). Mexico was added in the 18WoS: Pedal to the Medal but wasn't in Haulin. Only thing different is that you can bid on cargo. You can be your own boss and hire other drivers just like in Haulin. I think the minor additions to American Long Haul could of very well been a patch for Haulin.
When I saw this on the SCS website, I was looking forward to a new chapter in the 18WoS series however
