The simple answer is to save time. And a heavily loaded truck will stop in a shorter distance than a lightweight or empty one. Why limit trucks at 65 mph? Why not limit them to 45 mph? A 65 mph truck empty or loaded crashing is probably much the same as one going 70 or 75. This speed limiter mandate and the skyrocketing fuel prices are all small pieces of the Green New Deal puzzle that they want to force on everyone.
