How do you hire drivers in 18 Wheels of Steel Across America

You will need to buy another truck before you can hire a driver.

Before you can hire drivers, you must get in touch with them - talk to them over CB. Often he or she will make contact first using the CB radio whilst you are on the road, and you should answer their queries helpfully.

It's also worth it being active and trying to check who is listening from time to time - the earlier you find the best quality drivers, the higher the chance you will be able to employ them before the competitors do. Drivers with better prestige will be able to get better job assignments and make your company more money.

The driver will be automatically hired after the purchase of the new truck. You can hire only drivers with worse or the same prestige as you. In case you don't like the automatically chosen driver, you can change him. Click the 'Hire' button and then choose a different driver. You can also swap the drivers between your vehicles using the 'Swap drivers' button.

Note: There is bug in the program that prevents you from hiring additional drivers after you have added the first couple. Download and install the patch by clicking on the purple "Download Patch" button below or by visiting: http://www.valusoftsupport.com/ProductProfile.asp?pid=259
