Vermont Truck Speed Limit
Trucks run 65 mph, same as cars, on the interstates. No split. The urban interstate near Burlington drops to 55, and the default limit on everything else is 50 mph unless posted (23 V.S.A. 1003). Vermont has few divided highways outside I-89 and I-91, so most of your miles are two-lane at 50.

Truck-specific rules and quirks
- Keep right except to pass.
- Vermont has almost no limited-access highway beyond I-89 and I-91, so most of your miles are two-lane at the 50 mph statutory default unless a sign says otherwise. Trucks run the full 65 on the interstates, same as cars.
What a speeding ticket costs
A graduated civil penalty plus DMV points, set by the Vermont Judicial Bureau fine schedule rather than a flat statute. No super-speeder statute, but grossly excessive speed can be charged as negligent operation (23 V.S.A. 1091), a criminal offense.
