Let's not forget that truckers pay a "fuel" tax of between 14.5 and 38 cents per mile for each mile driven in every State. That's on top of the taxes charged at the pump.

Each commercial vehicle also pays between 300 and 550 per year in Federal Highway Use Tax, many States also charge a "surcharge" on top of their fuel tax, and some even charge a business tax and property tax, whether you live there or not. All of that is on top of the annual 1200-3200 International Registration Plan fees we pay. Shall I mention the excise taxes we pay, also? :)

:O)

Yes they get to truckers in various ways such as you mentioned that are over and above pump prices.... Here is a state by state list of taxes with notes about other taxes.
