For 40+ years I've done it as mentioned just like my vehicles, torqued when reinstalling the wheel then again in a couple hundred miles & not again til wheel is removed again, right or wrong but it's worked for me all these years.
I've seen those that do it EVERY time they stop, which is not a good idea when everything is hot, & have either crushed the lug nut through the wheel or broken the lug bolt off or both.
There is a proper procedure for retorqueing, it's not just get out & give it a few more clicks, that most don't know & don't do, Google or Utube the proper procedure.
