Don't go over 60 mph. The posted speed limit for trucks is 55 mph.
Cruising at 65 would be 10 miles per hour over the speed limit and you would be a juicy target for CHP.
You can get away with 62 mph north of Woodland until you are north of Corning. I recommend 60 mph everywhere else. -
Best not to go over 60. I got a ticket near Fresno in 2019 for going 65 and it cost me 528$.
epza, CatchUp, Flat Earth Trucker and 4 others Thank this. -
I run 62 everywhere I go in cali. I get walked on all day long by trucks running in the 70’2 10 west bound from Blythe to Indio. The 5 north of the grapevine everyone runs 62-65.
CatchUp, Oxbow, bryan21384 and 1 other person Thank this. -
The CHP gives grace at 60mph. Now the drivers are pushing faster. CHP is gonna start clamping down if they don’t cut it out.
I remember back when all limits were 55 for everybody. Cops would give tickets for 56 or 57. It was bad.
55 is complete drudgery. 60 really isn’t too bad. They ain’t gonna nail you for drifting a little faster downhill. Especially when they see you slowing it back dow while going down hill.otterinthewater, Flat Earth Trucker and tscottme Thank this. -

The first time I went into CA was from Las Vegas. I was going 58 and I was the slowest one on the road. Now I'll do 62 in the desert and 58 in the cities. I still get passed by most trucks.
racemaxx24 and tscottme Thank this.
