This would have been a positive review, if it werent for some boneheaded descision by the developper to make the midgame grind to a halt. Which is a shame because everything else is great (if not quirky or a bit short)
As you progress through the game you run into bigger, more expensive everything.... except for revenue. Upgraded from a 10,000 truck to a 500,000 rig? Cool now that you can haul twice as much, you're only going to ean half as much. Never mind that this big new rig is also slower and more expensive to operate already.
In the end, you don't really get any opportunity to invest some of the tedium away so that you can take on bigger challenges. Instead, the game kind of expects you to continue to repeat the tedium. The bigger, more expensive way of doing it? That's an amusement ride, which you are going to have to work hard to get on. And don't expect that amusmenet ride to be you ticket to the next amusement ride. Oh no, first you gotta do all the tedious jobs first all over again.
I am concerned that this game falls into the common trap of "Let's start with a sandbox and keep adding cars endlessly" with little thought as to how the sandbox plays.
Adding more trucks (which I can't afford anyways because of the mid-game tedium) isn't going to get this game over the finish line. What will is improved game systems: for example, transfer stations and a shipping system to allow combining multiple orders together to create hub-and spoke logistics. As a bonus that would give incentive for operating a more diverse fleet, it would incentivise me to do the little jobs too (since they are part of a bigger job), and it would also give us more things to build using logistics (right now I think there's just one building type, the Depot that isn't build right out of pocket and that provides some logistical function).
