See highlighted. Seems that would cover the trailer. And if you were tooling traveling at 56mph, technically you would be in violation since it's 55mph +

The issue you may run into is that you're 15mph over the limit so you may not be eligible for traffic school (discretion of judge), and some judges suspend licenses for speeding infractions (3 months for first offense, can be suspended for any speeding violation).

Info

Thanks, I'm about 99% sure i was going 65 MPH or below, but over 55 MPH

Yes, that is the right section. Fine for 65 or 70 mph is the same. The fine amount changes at 16 mph over and you're not eligible for traffic school at 26 mph over the speed limit.
