I agree with you.  Nothing is more irritating that getting stuck 
behind a semi on 6 near 14.  Even worse is several semis in a row.

Of course, the reasoning I think the state (cities?) use for the
differing speed limits make a little sense.  Since semis weigh
so much more than smaller vehicles, they take so much more distance
to stop.  I agree with that.  How much difference 10 MPH makes, I would
have to pull out a physics book to calculate.
