This gives you good time to complete your loads with less traffic, and enjoy the scenery.

Sorry, but you're wrong. This is directly from the 1C game page (category MANAGEMENT!!):

Apart from being the most accurate and innovative truck driving simulation game ever produced [...]

IMO it had the potential to be a really good simulation! But with all these extremely low time limits and no need to maneuver in any place, it's just a silly arcade racing game. It's a real shame after 7+ years of development...

Too bad that there isn't a playable demo version so I had to throw money away just to find out. So it'll be the last game from 1C for me.
