I have access to a quarterly report telling what the road taxes are by state (which I’m supposed to be consulting when I decide where to fuel but don’t actually care) and can say with 100% certainty that trucks aren’t driving around on “free asphalt”.
They take the money out at the fuel pump, figure out how much you owe for each mile driven in each state, divvy up what was paid and return any over payment to the owner of the truck.
I’m currently sitting in California and they add $0.727/gallon to pay for the “free” roads for example.
- ethagknight 5y agoThe mantra of free asphalt is tied to the fact that you had to advance exactly $0 capital to get that highway built, maintained and ready to go. You mention that you don’t really care to consult pricing strategy for taxation.. I think that is sort of case in point? I’m guessing most logistics trucking pass a fuel surcharge along to the customer anyway.
- UncleEntity 5y agoI don’t care because I don’t pay for fuel, simple as that. Plus, if you overpay, they give the money back so it only really matters for the short term income which effects me exactly %0.
