Story
The story in the game begins with the protagonist, Nick Armstrong, who hopes to fulfill his dreams of owning the best CCWA (California Commercial Warehouse Alliance) trucking company across California. In order for his dreams to come true, he has to earn more money and compete with the rest of California's import/export trucking companies. Later on, he will be able to meet new friends and expand his business. However, shortly after the beginning of the story, Nick's friend Matthew Tearson goes missing. Nick investigates and is caught in a situation with the Storm Express, a shipping company that has been delivering a new designer drug and silencing third party truckers who make the shipments along the Highway 108.
Unlike most sandbox games, ignoring a story mission for too long will end the game abruptly.
After completing the story missions, Nick can focus on expanding his trucking company, with his goal being to win the award for having the most successful company at a certain in-game date. If he succeeds, he receives a large cash reward. Failure to do so results in a "Game Over" screen although the player can continue playing the game with no penalties.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The old world stands serenely behind the new, as one mountain yonder towers behind another, more dim and distant. Rome imposes her story still upon this late generation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.”
—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
