As slow as possible. You should never be on the high end of the reverse gear, and the motor should be at idle as you're backing.
No, they are belt driven. That's how they operate.
Anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000, give or take.
Whatever suits you. I've driven to Denver in vehicles ranging from a Chevrolet Cobalt to a Peterbilt 379 tractor-trailer. Suffice to say each vehicle was for a different purpose.

The general definition is that a vehicle includes a motor vehicle, trailer, traction engine, farm tractor, road-building machine, bicycle and any vehicle drawn, propelled or driven by any kind of power, including muscular power, but does not include a motorized snow vehicle or a street car (Section 1 of the act). There is a special definition of the term in section 61 which says that in Part VI of the Act (the part having to do with equipment) it also includes "a conversion unit and a trailer converter dolly", just in case you were worried.

Well, dump trucks range in size greatly. You can make a dump truck out of a one ton pickup truck, if you so wish. The US truck classification system lists a Class 8 truck as being anything over a 33,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. 33,000 lbs. is the max allowed for a two axle unit, so, basically, any tandem axle vehicle (and all tractor trailers) are going to be Class 8 trucks. However, the licence class in the USA is different. Most Class 7 and Class 8 dump trucks can be driven with a Class B CDL. However, if that dump truck is going to be towing a trailer rated at over 10,000 lbs., then the same Class A CDL required for a tractor trailer will be required to operate that combination of dump truck and trailer.
