A serviceable experience of simulating driving a big rig, ATS is a good game that nobody will stop ribbing you for playing. Now featuring every West Coast state (after DLC) and parts of the Midwestern US, a very granular set of options lets you choose how "realistic" you want your experience to be, from whether fuel and fatigue matter to little things like whether the air brake is simulated properly. The traffic AI is rather awful at actually interacting with you (exploitable just as often as it's costing you an absurd amount of money), traffic law itself isn't always coded properly (right-on-red states will still find you penalized for taking such a maneuver, and posted signs like "left turn yield on green" will still leave you with penalties even if you stop and the intersection is deserted), and it would be nice to tell the GPS to prioritize new routes over seeing the same main roads over and over again without personal initiative, but if you want to drive a large truck hauling cargo across the US, this is your game, I reckon.
