## Gameplay

Throughout the course of the game, players are able to control one of the four playable characters that are available to them. The main goal is to make the most cash through the 60 day period to win the Chief Executive position. Players must drive with the loads they have purchased to the destination of their choosing using the Sat Nav. There is a total of 6 different major locations throughout Hick State County. At the different outposts, players will also be able to visit the Bar areas to play the slot machine, or to get special jobs from the bartender themselves which reward big money if completed. Players will also be able to repair and refuel their truck at the Garage areas of the outpost along with purchasing upgrades for their rig and swap out the current trailer that they have. Rival truckers will also each day appear before the player challenging them to race at one of the 5 major outposts, but the players can decline the challenges if they so choose. If they the players collide with police cars or Bikers on accident they will be chased. The police will lock up the player for the rest of the said day if they get caught. If the Bikers are not shaken off, they will steal the player's trailer that contains their load. Players can also visit BMT Inc to check the Sibling Rankings and view the Price Histories. However, the Price Histories will not be available until Day 5.

## Story

In the intro, Ma Jackson tells the group that she is going to retire. But she states it won't be simple to take her position that is now open. Ma then constructs a competition between the four. The person who makes the most money at the end of the 60 day period, will be named the Chief Executive of Big Mutha Truckers Inc., but then also gives a good warning to the group to be careful of the Hick State County Sheriff and the police, as they are out to dismantle the business that Ma built.

### Police Chases

If you make accidental or intentional contact with a police car, then a police chase will occur. You must outrun or destroy all the police vehicles pursuing you to resist arrest. In the event that you do get arrested, you will be put in jail for the rest of that day and must wait until the next day where, Ma Jackson will bail you out of jail. You will lose a day from the 60 day total and you will be brought back to the last outpost you stopped at prior to the arrest.

## Trivia

* Prior to the actual release, Cletus' truck had the Confederate flag on the side of the doors. This was changed to an American flag in the final release to help avoid any potential controversy.
