I’m pretty sure that any truck doing over 75 will be fair game for tickets. :-)

In Texas (at least when I used to live there), Trucks had a lower speed limit at night.. Totally separate speed limit sign.

No, it’s no *separate* limit for trucks. Prior to this, trucks had a separate and lower speed limit on most Texas highways, often 5-10mph lower than the regular limit.

This had obvious problems, especially when one truck is trying to pass another while trying to stay below the limit. The new law abolishes truck-specific speed limits and says that they simply have to obey the exact same limit as everyone else on the road.
