Players appreciate 18 Wheels of Steel: Haulin' as a nostalgic classic that pioneered the trucking sim genre with solid mechanics and a rewarding business-building progression system, though they acknowledge it's significantly outdated compared to modern alternatives like American Truck Simulator.

18 Wheels of Steel: Haulin' is a trucking simulation game developed by SCS Software and published by Cosmi Valusoft.

Good enough for me, however ATS is superieur, but here we can drive in almost all states of the USA (except Hawaii and Alaska) And we have snow in the north! Graphics are very poor with a lot of pop-up but it has that atmosphere if you can put yourself 20 years back ;)
