You can scapegoat the trucks, but average citizens are utilizing heavy trucks (indirectly) by buying stuff on Amazon or Walmart (to name a few examples).
We absolutely should tax goods and services based on the negative externalities they impose. Taxing vehicles by weight is a fair tax, much more fair than doing the _exact_ opposite right now, work trucks being taxed less. Heavy vehicles used productively will remain, but spending on heavy vehicles for recreation will be less attractive, since that kind of use consumers balance against other discriminatory spending.
