While Provinces and States have reciprocity for licensing, I don't believe any of them have reciprocity for vehicles on the road (i.e. double trailer, trailer brake rules, max length, etc).
Just like radar detectors and hands free phone laws - doesn't matter what the law is where you are from, it's the law where you are driving that counts.
As far as the OPs original question. I think it's very uncommon for private vehicles to be stopped for length, weight, etc unless you're doing something blatantly wrong (e.g. total length > 80'), double towing where not permitted, etc.
I agree too, here in Quebec we have transport police who patrol for heavy vehicle infractions (this is apart from our provincial police). Anything to do with safety will be enforced; there is no reciprocity with other jurisdictions.
