Being limited in speed doesn't preclude trucks from using all the lanes and weaving in and out. Also a truck can go slightly faster on a downhill even if the speed limiter shuts off the throttle.

That said I know of a couple instances where for sure I know the truck didn't have a limiter on when they should have. One was a Heinz truck a couple years ago, on the 401 east of Cobourg, ON. They passed me at around 125km/h. 30 minutes later I saw them on the road shoulder either broken down or pulled over by police. Trucks with disabled speedlimiters are the exception rather than the norm in my driving experience.
