That depends on what type of dump truck, what type of commodity, how it is measured (by weight or by cubic yard), and the state laws regarding weight allowances.

What is a tandem truck?
A tandem truck usually refers to the amount of axles on the trailer or tractor. A single drive axle on a tractor would be referred to as a single, or the same for one axle on the trailer.

Tri-axle can hold about 30 yards of mulch. How much it will hold, depends on the size of the box. I can 'legally' load 20 yds of 'pit-run' (gravel) in a 24 foot tandem trailer (in my province).
How many yards of manure can a roll off tandem axle truck hold?
That depends on the size of the can. For a tandem axle, 30 yard containers are the norm. However, 30 yards of manure will probably put that truck well over the legal weight limit. A roll off tandem truck empty weighs in the vicinity of 31,000 - 35,000 lbs., leaving only about 10 tons (give or take) of weight before it's over the limit. Which is why a commodity such as manure would be delivered by a (lighter) dump truck, or by flatbed truck in bags, rather than by roll-off.
