No so. Trucks are most always 8'6" wide because that is the legal width limit without special permits. For shippers it is all about the maximum amount they can get into a trailer without exceeding the weight limit.
That is why trailerable boats are usually the same width (102 inches) because that is the maximum legal width without an over width permit. There are obvious exceptions such as go-fast or smaller boats but the vast majority of boats in the 20 to 26 foot range are 8'6"wide.
