Is there a way to have the Garmin DESL 760 alert you that you have gone over the posted speed limit?

I doubt it
For all/most Garmin devices the answer is no for any audio alert. From what I see in the owners manual, there is no mention of it so I expect the dezl 760 is like the others with no possible audio speed limit alerts:

I'm sure you know this already, but I expect that your speed limit sign in the dezl's display turns reddish as a visual alert when exceeding what the Garmin map has posted for the speed limit.
Newer DriveSmart series alert on speed limit overages

The older units (the Dezl 760 is a generation from a few years ago I believe) don't alert but the newer DriveSmart ones do. I know that's not for trucks but my DriveSmart 70LMT alerts on speeding although it gets annoying frankly because it dings even with 1 mph over - it's either on or off, no flexibility unlike some apps which ding only when 5+ mph over. Maybe the Dezl 770LMT does? Give Garmin a call they're always helpful when I call.
This might work
Please let us know if it did

Speed limit
The newer models are coming out with all different types of alerts including speed limit exceeded. For example Garmin DriveSmart 50/60/70. See https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/drivesmart50-60-70/E... . Like the Speed limit reduction awareness.
