A fun game for the men in your family!

Called “the web’s leading online trucking game”
An online trucking simulation game where players can create a driver, buy a truck and earn money by hauling loads between real life cities around the world.

Who Can Play?
Teens are welcome, but probably best for Dad.

Getting Started
Create a driver, buy a truck and pick your route. Trukz doesn’t require a download. It works with PC or Mac, and any browser will do.

About the Money
Successful deliveries earn cash that players can use to upgrade their truck, buy items for their driver and expand their fleet. All players start out with $5,000, which is just enough to buy an old beater of a truck. The more money you earn, the more (and better) trucks you can buy. Loans are also available.

As Real as it Gets
Drivers suffer from fatigue, high fuel prices, bad weather, fines, speeding tickets, and penalties for late arrival. You can choose routes between major cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Australia and numerous European cities.

A Bit of Extra Info
You can work independently or become a company man. Join someone else’s company or start your own for only $7000. Advantages to owning or working for a company include assistance with repairs, fuel, and ticketing as well as bonuses for delivering to certain cities.

A Word of Warning
Simple but addictive!
