The player takes control of a new trucking company and competes against up to either three other human or computer players to make the most money.
 Services manufactures several models of T-Sticks, which give kitchen inspectors and managers an easy way to verify temperatures at critical control points:

* The T-Stick 140 Plus turns green at 143[degrees]F ([plus or minus]2[degrees]F)) in five seconds and can be used to check hot-holding of food.

* The T-Stick 160 turns black at 160[degrees]F ([plus or minus]1[degrees]F) in five seconds and can be used to check the temperature of hamburger, fish, pork pork, flesh of swine prepared as food, one of the principal commodities of the meatpacking industry. Pork has long been a staple food in most of the world, although religious taboos have limited its use, especially among Jews and Muslims. , and eggs.

 of previously cooked food.

T-sticks also can monitor temperatures in dishwashers. A T-Stick 160 or T-Stick 170 is inserted into the tines of a clean fork. The fork then is placed anywhere in the dish rack and run through the cycle with a regular wash load. If the T-Stick has changed color at the end of the cycle, a safe temperature of 160[degrees]F or 170[degrees]F has been reached at the utensil surface.

Health departments or food safety educators who fax requests for T-Sticks to Trans World will receive a free packet of the 140,160, and 170 models, along with a unique hazard analysis A hazard analysis is a process used to characterize the elements of risk. The results of a hazard analysis is the identification of unacceptable risks and the selection of means of controlling or eliminating them.  critical control point (HACCP HACCP
