In between levels, players can park the truck in a minigame to earn more cash and upgrades for their truck, such as an improved horn. Crossing the finish line before the Lizard Tail yields additional money. In addition to the time limit, players also compete with the 'Lizard Tail', a rival trucker. Players can sound the truck's horn to make other cars on the road yield and slipstream behind large vehicles to gain a momentary speed boost. Money is deducted from the total when the trailer is hit.
One trailer is harder to haul, but provides a bigger payoff while the other choice is easier to haul but provides a smaller payoff. After Stage 1, the game gives the player a choice of trailer. The game starts out in New York City, New York and players travel across the United States of America, ending in San Francisco, California. There are several characters to choose from, each with a unique truck and attributes. Players are given a set amount of time, but can ram into special vans that will add three seconds to the timer. The main purpose of the game is to make it to the finish line with the truck's cargo. Players start the game going from New York City, New York to Key West, Florida (shown here) driving a tank truck.
