I know that truck shouldn't go over 55mph in Cali,
but does it counts the class C trucks too ?
(I have a class A but tomorrow need to drive a class C straight truck...)
Thanks
What's the speed limit for a 26 straight truck in California ?

It depends, as I understand it, on how many axles you have on the ground. A two axle straight truck, with no trailer, should be legal for whatever the higher posted limit is be it 65 or whatever. A three axle straight truck is limited to 55 unless he lifts one of those axles off the road. It don't matter how long your truck is. Even cars pulling a little U-Haul trailer are limited to 55. Three axle Busses are exempt.

Self explanatory. I-5

Yeah, in Ca. it's axles that determine it. A single screw bobtail/straight truck can do the speed limit and any lane, just like the 4 wheelers. A twin screw bobtail/straight truck is slow lane and 55 max. Busses are exempt.

In the los angeles area seen a 3 axle tractor bobtailing in the # 2 lane of 4 lanes. Told him on the cb big ticket in that lane, replied it's legal to bobtail in that lane, call cal dot. I did and to my sunrise it is legal. But forgot to ask about speed limit

Was told by chp at the cottonwood scales on I5 that bobtails can do 70 even with 3 axles.
