Truckin' has to be
one of the most unique games out there. Who could imagine that
hauling cargo around on the highways could be fun? We actually
had more fun playing demolition derby against each other than
actually delivering cargo, but hey, it's all in how you play it,
right? Turns out Mattel had planned an IntelliVoice game built on the same
idea, probably using CB Radio chatter via the IntelliVoice for game info.
Hmmm... Perhaps it's a good thing that didn't happen.

It can be tricky to pin down the exact number of variations for this box
after decades have passed. For certain, there are at least two, apparently due
to a printing error. Some copies of Truckin' have a 7603 number on the spine of
the box, which is the same as Dragonfire's part number. Some copies have a sticker
with the 7607 part number covering up the 7603 part number. Was this done due to an
error in the first print run, or was it an error in a later print run? If a
box has a sticker on only one spine, is it because one sticker fell off? Were
correction stickers placed on one, both, or neither spine? It's like trying to know
the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop–the world
may never know!
For what it's worth, the table below shows the various forms that have been found,
as well as a Dragonfire box spine for reference.

The correction sticker is not applied - note the same ID number as Dragonfire.

This is the spine with the correction sticker applied.

This is the corrected spine with the proper part number printed directly on the box.

Title screen for Truckin'. |
 |
There are various ways to play the game. Cross-Country-Chicken is the best. |
 |
Even when you're playing one-player, you only get half the screen. Still and all, the (stereotypical) scenery you get as you drive through the country is quaint. |
Rick Levine was at it again in Truckin'. I recall stumbling across this (or
was it my friend Kim first?) back in the day. There is a secret road to take
you to Imagic's headquarters! For a step-by-step guide,
