well i guess my 38 years of commercial driving, over 45 years of driving for pay. says i know nothing.
sure i do not know everything. as i have tried to limit myself to just the western states. guess florida just wants to hurt company's.
but with all the major less than truck load trucking company's pulling doubles (triples in some states), i do not see how or why a single state would ban them.
but yes there are places long trucks, and doubles just should not be. like downtown new york city, etc.
in my decades the only places where i see a "ban" is for long trucks, on narrow twisty roads, but that includes buses and large rv's.
seasonal over mt passes,(ice/snow) or high wind areas (all trucks, buses, rv's) but these last two are temp deals do to conditions.
in talking with a number of dot officials (yes the ones who write the tickets) and reg street leos, i only know what i know.
