And those trucks are also much smaller and lighter doing less damage to the better designed and maintained road.

I'm a fan of reducing the difference of speed gap because it (at least in theory) reduces the differential of speed between the vehicles, which means fewer slow cars trying to jump out in front of faster moving cars to get around a semi so they can have a better view.
