Hard Truck 2 has much smoother connections between different parts of the road (and the penalty for the cargo damage is ridiculously low, so you may not worry for your money even with 70% cargo damage after multiple crashes and rollovers), but this game has stupid AI — in certain locations, the trucks around you may drive in the water and drown instead of just stop and give way to each other. Also, when you are on the steep climbs, calling 911 may return your truck on the road, but don’t return the trailer — the latter just falls under the texture and disappear
. Eventually, these bugs made the developers allow to use the trailer only by the player — your competitors in the cargo race are only the rigid trucks and the AI tractor users transport their cargo in
