20,000 - 25,000 lbs. tare would be a good estimate. The weight's going to vary by a number of factors, to include wheelbase, powerplant, what the bed is made out of (steel vs. aluminum), etc. And the model of truck will affect it, as well. E.g., a Mack RD series is going to be much lighter than a Western Star 4964 series truck.

Depends on a number of factors, such as make and model, type of dump body, powertrain, material the dump body is made of, PTO system, other attachments, etc. For a tandem axle, on-highway dump truck, you're looking at between 20,000 and 25,000 lbs.

What is the gross vehicle weight of an empty 1975 international dump truck.?
It's a trick question - gross weight is the loaded weight. The weight of an empty vehicle would be the tare weight. This would depend on exactly what model International it was, as well as the configuration (single axle, tandem, tri-axle, etc).
What is the weight of 10 wheeler empty truck?
That depends on what it is. A tandem dump truck might weight between 20,000 - 24,000. A roll-off container with a 30 yard can mounted is going to be closer to 31,000 - 34,000. It's all dependent on the make of the truck, drivetrain, what type of body is mounted, etc.
What average weight of a dump truck?
Which weight? Gross weight? Tare weight? What configuration? 1 ton pickup? Single axle Class 7/8 truck? Tandem axle truck? Tri-axle truck? Quad axle truck? Quint axle truck? Centipede? "Superdump" quint with Strong Arm? Transfer truck? Tractor-trailer end dump, or belly dump, or side dump? Try to narrow down the variables a bit. There's really no way of knowing what an "average" dump truck is without knowing statistics of how many single axle, tandem, tri-axle, quad, quint, centipede, and superdump dump trucks are out there - to the best of my knowledge, no such statistics have been compiled. At the company I work for, our tandem axle dumps (with steel dump bodies) weigh between 23,000 and 24,500... the 23,000 lbs. trucks are the Peterbilt 330s, and the 24,500 lb. trucks are the Kenworth T800s with "rock tub" steel bodies, high lift gates, and split gate beds. These are the tare (empty) weights, not the loaded weights.
What is a tri axle dump truck?
A dump truck with two (tandem) rear pulling axles supported by a third fixed axle located in the middle of the truck which only reaches the ground after a certain amount of load weight.
Capacity of a tandem dump truck?

What is the difference between a normal dump truck and a tandem dump truck?
A tandem dump truck is as normal as any other dump truck. Tandem simply indicates that it has two drive axles (as opposed to a single axle, which only has one). A tandem dump is typically allowed to gross at 54,000 lbs. From there, some dump trucks have additional axles (lift axles) which allow them to haul more weight. They're named in accordance with the number of axles behind the cab (i.e., not including the steer axle). So a tandem dump with a single lift axle would be referred to as a tri-axle, with two lift axles it would be referred to as a quad axle dump, with three lift axles it would be referred to as a quint axle dump.... at four lift axles, they're typically referred to as 'centipedes'.
