I used to advocate for this, but it’s a regressive tax. Semi trucks do by far the most road wear, so would bear the most taxes in any fairly distributed system. Those trucks are how groceries get to stores, and groceries comprise a far higher proportion of a poor person’s spend than a rich person. Maybe you get some second order effects, but the first order effect is “grocery tax”.
