14 cubic yards
How many cubic yards will my dump truck hold it is 16x5.5x8
It is typically measures in cubic yards. Anything over 2 cubic yards is a lot of mixing, so you'd likely want to order that from a concrete company in a ready mix concrete truck.
A person may be able to purchase an concrete truck at a ready-mix company that can be ordered, or added along with, the amount of concrete that a person or company is providing. For example, the general rule is that a concrete truck will, about average, hold ten cubic yards. Again, this is average because some trucks will actually hold about eight cubic yards to about nine cubic yards.
At U-Haul, the smallest truck that will hold 40 cubic yards (1,080 cubic feet) is a 24-foot truck. You will also need to check the weight capacity.
Neither a 14-foot truck nor a 17-foot truck is large enough to hold 40 cubic yards.
That depends on the dimension of the dump body. The dump body could hold 15 - 20 cubic yards of material, typically. As for what can legally be hauled, it depends on the commodity and weight of the commodity per cubic yard, as well as state laws pertaining to what weight limits they allow for a tri-axle.
I would like to see 20 cubic yards on a tandem. I would hate to pay that overload ticket.
The average tandem axle truck can carry about 12 cubic yards of soil. Generally, a tandem axle truck has three axles.
20
Roughly 10 cubic yards (or 270 cubic feet).
Truck G can fit 20 boxes that measure 1 cubic yard each. Therefore, it has a total capacity of 20 cubic yards. Truck H is twice as large as Truck G, so its capacity is 2 times 20 cubic yards, or 40 cubic yards. To determine the number of boxes that can fit into Truck H, we need to know the volume of each box in cubic yards. If we assume that all boxes have the same volume as the ones that fit into Truck G (1 cubic yard each), then Truck H can fit 40 boxes. So, the measurement that can be used to determine the amount of boxes that can fit into Truck H is its total capacity in cubic yards.
Need to know the specifics of the dump truck you had in mind. Tandem axle dumps in the company I work for... if they have a 'dirt tub' body, they can carry 16 cubic yards. The ones with the 'rock tub' dump bodies can carry 15 cubic yards.
