Here are some more answers to questions available:

1. I noticed looking at the International 9900i that it lists two different sleepers. Will we be able to change a truck's sleeper ingame?

YES

2. Will the game be shown at Igromir this year? I know the expo will occur right before the game's release. At what other events will it be shown?

It is possible, but is not a fact. It is still being debated.

3. In regard to the police: will it see every violation the player makes? Even if there were no police vehicles nearby when the player has caused an accident?

No. If there are no police vehicles in the vicinity you will not get into trouble for violating the law/crashing. However... this is true only as long as you do not just keep standing at the scene of the accident/violation... the AI traffic has the ability to report your behavior to the police.

4. Will there be other locations besides the warehouse where the player will be able to pick up a load? Will loading there be done automatically as in the warehouse or will the player be able to back up to the trailer and press "T" or some other button to connect the trailer?

The player will be able to pick up his/her own load.

5. Will the player have to purchase special permits and cargo endorsements to transport special loads (hazardous materials for example)?

I cannot reveal that just yet. Sorry.

6. How will the process of hiring drivers? Will it be the same as in Hard Truck 2 (you have to be the first to deliver a competitive load and receive a permit to hire a driver that expires)?

Yes, I think so.. but in Rig N Roll there is a complex social/communication system that awaits us, so there will be some variation.

7. Can you tell us what manufacturer's engines will be available in the game? such as Detroit Diesels, Caterpillar and the like. Will these motors each have the sound of their real world models? Like a different sound between a detroit and Cummins diesel?

I cannot go into details just now. Not because I do not want to but because it will be revealed in some sort of upcoming media (trailer/screenshot).

8. Are there more trailers than have been shown on the official website and screenshots/trailers? Is it possible to have doubles (two smaller trailers attached at once)?

Yes, there are more trailers than shown on the official site. In regard to doubles, I do not understand what you mean... can you give an example?

If I remember it right, developers said somewhere, that there we will have Ctrl (power) button

Will you be able to smuggle illegal goods and contraband for a higher yield? (But run the risk of being caught by the police? (And try to avoid the cops))

As far as I know, you can't.

Some questions have been answered and posted on truckpol:

1.) If the player crashes into something with the front of the truck will it be possible to damage the cooling system (radiator) causing the truck to overheat?

A: Yes

2.) Will we be able to name our company or will it always be "Nick's Trucking"? And will we be able to put special company logos on our trucks and those of our hired drivers like in D2?

A: Company name will always be Nick's Trucking

3.) How realistic is the acceleration of the trucks in the game? Will the truck accelerate slower with a loaded trailer attached?

A: 3.1 It is hard to describe everything in detail
A: 3.2 Yes

4.) Will we have to pay tolls at locations such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco?

A: No

5.) We know that the AI drivers can report us to the police if we break the law/crash... but can we (the players) report drivers who cause accidents/crash into us to the police?

A: Maybe

6.) Will there be truck weight stations along the highway where the trucks will have to stop to be weighed and recieve a ticket if they are over the weight limit? (California has a lot of these stations in real life)

A: No. In the game, there will be special lanes on the highway on which trucks are allowed to drive

7.) Will there be rock chips on the windshield (from gravel or loose rocks flying from other cars/trucks? And if yes, will the cracks get bigger over time so that you will have to replace the whole windshield?

A: It is posible

8.) Since the game has a Russian main character it is only logical that he will want to listen to Russian music (to remind him of home ). What music will be in the game? And will there be songs from the band Aria? (it was awesome in Hard Truck 2)

A: Of course.
