Kruser - I am extremly familiar with permeable paver systems an I can tell you that done correctly you can easily run fire trucks and loaded semi"s over them. You must design them first to handle the load that will be driven on them and then to handle the amount of water the architect/engineer needs. I have worked directly with city officials, architects and engineers on permeable systems and they can easily withstand fire trucks.
By looking at the picture I will tell you that the pattern those pavers are laid in are not recommended for vehicular traffic... correct me if I am wrong but is the dark colored material under those pavers dirt???
A typical permeable pavement is designed using No 2. stone as a base (thickness based on expected traffic load), then a No. 57 stone to choke it down (usually 4" thick) then a couple inches of No. 8 or No. 9... then the concrete pavers are laid on the No. 8 or 9"s and then the joints filled with the No. 8 or 9 again.
I work for a manufacturer and am well versed in these applications. I would be more than happy to come and meet with someone to help correct this problem the right way.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
