Did you know that EVERY truck in the nation pays $550.00 EVERY YEAR on top of a mileage tax paid to each state? If you buy fuel in a state the tax on fuel (that is more than tax on car fuel) counts toward that mileage tax but never fully covers it.
I remember well the debate about why trucks needed to pay a "premium" tax on gas because they impacted roads to a greater degree than cars. I did not know the rate.
The fuel tax on trucks varies per state. The "trucks are heavier so they do more damage" myth was brought up to justify charging more. Just think about the $550.00 per truck every year.

I remember the fed debate. That is a hefty tax.
