It depends on the particular country's or state's legislation. Some have different rules for heavy vehicles, others do not. In the US state of Texas, the speed limit for trucks is usually five mph below the speed limit for cars (10 below in areas where the speed limit has been increased to 80 mph). Several states also have a 55 mph speed limit for trucks, including Ohio, Michigan, and California. However, these speed limit regulations typically apply only to commercial trucks, and not to vehicles exempt from CDL requirements, such as recreational vehicles.

Calif, any vehicle with trailer is 55. Even a car with a small camper.

What mode of transportation is more efficient land air or water?

Shipping by water is much more efficient. The largest freighters can hold up to 15,000 20-foot containers. It would take 15,000 drivers and trucks to move the same number of containers. With much fewer employees and vehicles involved, shipping by water, while slower than land or air, is more efficient.
