Bill, The others have pretty well told you the 1/2 Ton, 3/4 Ton, and 1 Ton delineations. HP varies to what engine is in it. 300 hp is pretty much the norm for base line HP the number go up from there. Depending if Factory setting, or "Chipped"
Big trucks, Semi s, Depends on where you are in the US as to Posted Speed limits 65 to 85 MPH here in Texas. Most truckers will run that! Truckers will and still do "Turn them UP" or "Chip" them on the newer electronic injections engines
In the West Texas and the Panhandles of Tx and Okla., High Plains, Western US, Truckers still run All Out. We had an old 79 KW with a 430 hp Detroit Dsl that would run 80 all day long, Up hill, Down hill, all around the town!
My Neighbor had a old Cab Over Peterbuilt with a 400 Cummings originally, after the first melt down then punched it out to 435 , but he would twist on the old mechanical pump so it would run like the wind, but it ran So hot it would melt down every 18 months or so. He Has! been Clocked and Stopped at 120 MPH with a full load of cattle coming out of Tenn headed to the Panhandle of Okla. many times!
Out here 90 mph is real common!
Later,
John A.
