Off-roading bears no traction penalty, hills can be ascended and descended without affecting the truck's speed, and traversal is possible in the emptiness outside the game map. The player's truck can pass through the opponent and all objects placed on the route due to a lack of collision detection. There is no time limit to complete a race, and the opponent does not move. Driving in reverse allows the truck to accelerate indefinitely, while releasing the associated key will instantly halt it. Once selected, the player navigates their truck through checkpoints using the arrow keys. The player chooses from four playable semi-trailer trucks ("big rigs") and five truck routes, although selecting the fourth route will cause the game to crash. Although the game's packaging states the objective as racing over US truck routes to be the first to deliver cargo and avoid arrest by the police, the game features no law enforcement. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is a racing video game.
