The bed, not the box. At that point, it becomes very top heavy and unstable, and the driver must be certain to have that truck level when they raise the bed. However, most dump/tipper trucks will allow a little leniency as far as that goes, although I wouldn't dare raise the bed of a centipede (four additional lift axles, and typically a bed of well over 25 feet) unless I was on perfectly stable ground.
The worst of the all are frameless end dump tractor trailers.

In idle? The configuration of the tractor has nothing to do with determining that. It's the motor which does, and the consumption rate in idle for a motor would be the same for a tandem axle dump truck as it would be for the same motor in a road tractor, box truck, quad axle dump truck, cement mixer, etc.

Why do dump trucks have don't use hooks painted on the back?
To give an example.... when you pave something such as a racetrack, you're at a very steep angle which would cause a dump truck to tip over once its bed was raised into the air. In many cases, the bed may not even have to be raised for this to happen. One method to allow dump trucks to dump into a paving machine on such surfaces is to have cranes hook to the beds and chassis of the dump truck in order to prevent them from tipping over. Which is fine, if the truck has a bed which won't be damaged by the hooks. However, many dump trucks do not, and their beds may be susceptible to damage from having a crane hooked to it - especially in the case of dump trucks which have lightweight aluminum dump bodies, rather than steel dump bodies.
