We have a Garmin 755T and of course a MH. Is there any garmin software for truck routing that we can download (for our MH), and where can I find it on the web?

Seems LOSTMARBLES didn't understand your question. You could contact Garmin on availability of the 465 software and see if you could load it onto your 755, or try to find Trucking POIs. But none of that replaces some of the features of the 765, where routing features are set for trucks, like height restrictions. Other than that, not sure why you want truck routing.

Some of our friends also have Garmins and RVs, so they set their Garmin to Truck to make sure to get a route that is good for a MH/TT to avoid low bridges or narrow roads...

Not all Garmin devices have a truck option.

As far as I know the Garmin 465T is the only Garmin that will let you put in your height, length, width, axle ratings, etc. which is very good for large RVs. I got one for my birthday about 2 months ago and love it. It's not perfect but none of them are. You can create a route
and run it in CAR mode and it might show 35 miles. Then switch to TRUCK mode and run it and it might show 49 miles since it is not taking you down narrow streets/roads, etc.

I have a 465T. It is the only Garmin that does true Truck/RV routing. I am not sure what the other models do when you select Truck but they will not help you avoid low clearances. You can add a POI file that will help somewhat but you cannot stake you life (or RV) on it; but then I would never fully trust a GPS with my life or RV.
Ask Garmin if you can load the 465T software on yours but I can guess at their answer (NO).

Watch out for the RR bridge in Needles, CA. The Garmin 760 takes you right under the 8' X 8" bridge!
