    The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with players reporting frequent interruptions during gameplay. Many users express frustration over the forced ads that appear even after purchasing the ad removal option, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes ad revenue over player experience.

I am on day 40 and I collect all the bolts and parts for the next truck, and it hasn't upgraded yet. Can someone please fix it and I will give 5 stars.”
