Additionally, heavy vehicles cause upwards of 80% of road wear, which means we are subsidizing private transport companies by not forcing them to fund a proportional amount of road maintenance.

They do. There are additional fee's and fuel surcharges that states make transport companies pay for road upkeep.

    They pay more but not 80% of the total cost of maintenance. That's what the distribution would need to be in order to cancel out the outsized influence they have on infrastructure degradation.
