According to him, Big Rigs was developed by a team in Ukraine. Sergey Titov, the chief executive officer of TS Group Entertainment, licensed his Eternity game engine to Stellar Stone in exchange for a "large chunk of the company". The development of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing was commissioned by Stellar Stone, a company based in Santa Monica, California, that was founded in late 2000 and outsourced game development to Eastern European countries like Russia. Completing a race rewards the player with a trophy bearing the phrase "You're winner !". 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 vehicle to accelerate continuously, while releasing the associated key will instantly halt the truck. 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.

You’ll have to keep an eye on your fitness and your gasometer – driving tired can result in deadly accidents, and running out of gas will cost you time and money.
At each turn, you choose your travelling speed (go too fast, and you may be stopped by the police - too slow and you may not arrive in time). After these preliminaries, you begin your trip. At the beginning of your trip, you can choose between three types of cargo (with or without time limit, perishable or not) and three routes - each with different characteristics, like length or chances for bad weather etc. The game is played in text mode only, with your choice made by typing the right letter at the prompt.
