This is a ridiculous opinion. Trucking causes thousands of times more damage than cars despite being a fraction of the traffic. Amazon makes billions by using the roads constantly while I make a salary using it once or twice a day. Public infrastructure is often specifically built out to support specific industries.

Something called a fuel tax and heavy vehicle use tax exists to support exactly what you said - to pay for roads. Trucks use ALOT of fuel. Amazon pays for all of those taxes.
The real scammers on road taxes are drivers of electric cars, who damage roads while paying nothing.
Do better...
Some reading material: additional heavy vehicle use tax exists. Per DOT:
