Although I have not been on a lot of roads in IL. The ones I have been on I-39, 55, 70, 57, 64, 72, and US-36 had no different speed limits for different vehicles. If the speed limit was 65 it was for everyone. I have seen in some state when get within 50 miles of some of the large cites they limit the trucks (what ever the definition of a truck is) to certain lanes.
Until 3-4 years ago in IL on interstates the speed limit was 65 mph for passenger cars and trucks weighing under 8000 lbs. For trucks over 8000 lbs or vehicles towing anything then the speed limit was 55 mph. That was changed to where the speed limit is the same for both. Then about a year ago it was raised to 70 mph.
Speed limits on interstates can be lower depending on location and amount of traffic.
On 2 lane the max speed limit is still 55 mph. Some limited access 4 lanes the speed limit might be 65 mph, it depends on the location, amount of traffic, and number of intersections.
