=v= Without any numbers (accurate ones), this is a completely
meaningless observation.  The standard design manual calculates
road damage as pro****tional to the fourth power of the weight
on the axle, and this is thought to be a low estimate (by an
order of magnitude, even).

=v= As for sharing with others, it's not the trucker suffering
the most damage when that sharing doesn't work out -- and that
damage additionally inflicts higher costs than those inflicted
by other road users.
