Extreme Trucker

Extreme Trucker lets you be the brave trucker and deliver cargos in any of the three main areas of the game: Yungas Road (also known as Road of Death), Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road, and the Australian Outback. All three maps are "extreme" in their ways: Driving on the icy and snowy roads of northern Canada can be a tough challenge no matter what you deliver. The Australian long distance routes will let you drive "road trains", up to 5 multiple trailers attached. The South American area is known for its narrow roads, a moment of lack of caution and you find yourself dropping off the edge of a cliff. This game is quite different from the previous installments and the whole concept is changed. You can no longer drive around in free roam unless you decide to go around the map during a delivery, but you can only pick a job offer from the selection menu only if users have met its requirements of having multiple new trucks and accomplished deliveries. The trucks and cars are this time made after real brands, although you can't own any vehicles through the game, and you are simply a truck driver seeking for various jobs. Still, today's low to mediocre range computer will be able to run the game without getting low FPS (1.9 GHz CPU,1 GB RAM,256 MB graphics accelerator).

Wikipedia facts:

In this installment, released in 2004, the user can travel across the entire continental US, and also through northern Mexico and southern Canada, through 30 cities. The sleep timer was brought back in this version. It has an improved traffic model. 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal requires OpenGL This installment is thought to be the 2nd most popular game in the series, with 18 Wheels Of Steel: Haulin' being the most popular. There is also a map editor but it has bugs but also the game comes with a new map with new cities like Sacramento and a couple new mexican cities but it looks a lot more different than the original. It also has the fastest map to date besides Haulin'.

I have Extreme Trucker, American Long Haul (I think it is), and Pedal to the Metal.

There is some more games of the series, I only took 2 here because, it'll be way too much otherwise.

P.S: Extreme Trucker is REALLY extreme!!

Plenty of mods and I know how to play as a sim without time limits. It took a bit to learn how to mod it but it was worth it.

Here is my thread at Truckpol that explains how to do it.

I played 18WOS series for years and really loved Haulin. RNR just provides what I was looking for.
