My friend the question you ask is really unanswerable due to the terrain covered. On a flat tarred road with no load a speed of 50mph (80kph) may have been OK but over sand and cross country it may have been only as high as 10mph and probably less.

A lot depends on the gearing and load that a truck carries whether it can maintain the recommended speeds usually given by the manufacturers.
