What is the thought process behind having truck speed limits that are 10 mph under the regular speed limit? It just seems to create hazards when trucks try to pass, etc. Is there a good reason for this?

Trucks weigh a lot more than other cars. That means they take way longer to stop if they need to. By having a slower speed limit for them, it makes it less dangerous by giving them more reaction time
