I’ve been sitting here at home for the past week and a half now taking a well earned unexpected vacation and today, I came across a website that is instantly becoming addictive.

It’s a silly little game called trucks and you can find it atTrukz.com - A Trucking Simulator

It is a turn based game which puts you in control of a virtual truck, hauling freight point to point and encountering all the B.S. and rewards we have on a day to day basis.

It is obvious this wasn’t written by a trucker as some of the items in the inventory have strange names and the trucks available to purchase are years out of date. But as I said, it quickly becomes addicting.

It’s a game you can play in about 5 minutes before waiting an hour for your 10 hour sleeper break to be up at which time you can resume taking turns until the computer declares you’re fatigued.

Along the way, you choose your cargo, destination and try to make it there on time to avoid penalties.

There are companies you can join to increase you productivity and reward or you can do it gonzo style as I am at the moment.

Did I mention, it is mindless mind candy! Check it out though. You might like it.
