Yep, so long as there isn't a separate posted speed limit. However, given that a large majority of car/truck rear end accidents involve a car running into the back of a truck, I think it's a bad idea to have two large groups of traffic driving at such disparate speeds. Not only that... a ten mph speed cut represents a huge pay cut.
Would you take around a 15% pay cut because someone (usually entirely unschooled in trucking in the first place) decided it would be safer...whatever your field?
