King of the Road is an improved version of Hard Truck 2. The game simulates the life of long haul truckers, delivering merchandise over large territory. You race other truckers and have to keep supply and demand in mind. There are different weather circumstances, and from time to time, you are invited to circuit races where you can earn a license to hire other truckers and start a company. Cash is used to upgrade your vehicle, acquire a new one, or to pay other drivers' salaries. The first company to own a 51% share in the delivery market, wins.
