You are probably right as I think that is based on each state's DOT. Here in the Rocky Mountain states we have pullouts along the highways designed for tractor trailers and trucks to throw tire chains on before starting up and down hills and mountain passes. If a commercial vehicle got into an accident (especially if another motorist was involved) it would be more consequential if they are not wearing iron.
