Commercial trucks may be paying more taxes nominally but they are not paying for the road wear that they cause. A commercial long-hauler causes 1,408 times more damage than a passenger vehicle. Even something like a garbage truck is 1,279x worse [1]. What can’t be ignored is the level of subsidies being offered to heavy vehicles.
