Missouri Truck Speed Limit
Trucks run the same limits as cars in Missouri. 70 on rural interstates, 65 on rural expressways, and 60 inside the St. Louis and Kansas City urbanized areas (RSMo 304.010). No split. Two-lane state roads top out at 55 for everybody. Watch the work zones, where Missouri stacks extra penalties when workers are present.

Truck-specific rules and quirks
- The 60 mph limit applies inside the St. Louis and Kansas City urbanized areas. No weight-based truck differential anywhere in the state.
What a speeding ticket costs
Graduated and county-dependent; Missouri runs a points system. No special truck fine, but 'Endangerment of a Highway Worker' (RSMo 304.582) raises the stakes in an active work zone.
