Thank you for your input, however I found the reference @ http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html
This location has all the current info on the speed limit.  It's actually pretty cool, it has
all the California Law references as well as the Vehicle Code!  I found the following
in regards to my original comment:

22406.  No person shall drive any of the following vehicles on a
highway at a speed in excess of 55 miles per hour:
   (a) A motortruck or truck tractor having three or more axles or
any motortruck or truck tractor drawing any other vehicle.
   (b) A passenger vehicle or bus drawing any other vehicle.
   (c) A schoolbus transporting any school pupil.
   (d) A farm labor vehicle when transporting passengers.
   (e) A vehicle transporting explosives.
   (f) A trailer bus, as defined in Section 636.

Thanks again!
