Players choose one of several trucks, each rated in speed, handling, etc. They then race from point to point across the country, hauling cargo (more difficult cargo will increase your pay for that leg of the journey) while avoiding innocent traffic (blare the horn to get drivers out of your way) and trying to outrun a reckless computer opponent (or player two in linked matches). Good performances are rewarded with bonus stages that require players to manuever the truck in tight alleyways and park the truck in a limited amount of time.

Problem: The horn sounds off continuously and will not stop. Solution: The metal shaft that is connected to the metal horn button has come unscrewed and is blocking the optical sensor in the steering wheel, giving the signal that the horn is depressed. Remove the kick plate under the front console of the game. After removing the horn pushbutton, push the metal shaft back up through the center of the steering wheel.
