If the trucking company didn't pay it, there would be less impetus to use lighter trucks, more efficient trucks.

And we would pay more from the general fund for road repairs that weren't strictly necessary.

And rails and other methods of transport would be even more at a disadvantage.

Fuel and use taxes should be higher.  Bicycles don't pay because they do nearly no damage.  Nearly no emissions, nearly no weight, nearly no congestion.  They are the most efficient use of our roads, and our pricing structure should encourage it.  (Motorcycles are also very efficient and should pay much less than cars).

It's about pricing efficiency of a limited resource (road space).
