The idea is trucks used for work will by nature need more fuel, but they should not be used where a more efficient car would work

Effective policy would drive the truck engines and size to be more efficient, because they can but do not. They aren't because of the exemption. Plenty of trucks globally are significantly smaller than ours and get the jobs done. Generally I agree a more efficient car is likely ideal and should be policy enforced.
