The interesting conclusion here:
1) Semis / tractor-trailer and delivery vehicles are then vastly underpaying for their externalities as their gas tax and vehicle-specific charges don't tend to be square of weight.
2) By vastly underpaying, the clients of those buying goods transported by these vehicles are vastly underpaying for these externalities.
3) Exclusive pedestrians/bicyclists, who are highly dependent on large delivery vehicles to take goods from point of manufacture to places they can access via walking/biking, are vastly underpaying for these externalities.

Are you honestly trying to say that all, or the majority of, HGVs on the road are exclusively delivering items for pedestrians and cyclists? Or that if you drive a car, your local supermarket no longer needs HGVs for delivery? Or that moving those goods in hundreds of private cars is more efficient than moving them in a single HGV?
