So you're saying each state CAN dictate how much a vehicle, or combination of vehicles can weigh, and how fast they can travel, but NOT how long they can be?
Curious that.
Weights, speeds, are a local thing, dictated by the conditions in that state. are you saying that vehicles over 60 feet can't enter NC. ? or are you simply saying vehicles registered in NC must comply with NC law.??
I didn't state a particular length, you did, but since you brought up NC as an example, yes, combinations of private vehicles cannot exceed 60' in total length including front & rear bumpers. Recreational Vehicles cannot exceed 45' including bumpers.
All of that can be found at;
North Carolina Vehicle Dimension Law
See § 20-116. Size of vehicles and loads. Sub-sections (d) & (e), which also BTW, clearly EXEMPT commercial vehicles from those restrictions.
Being NC, there is also a specific exempt for vehicles involved in 'motorsports competition', I.e. NASCAR teams.
