The amount of dirt a dump truck can hold depends on the size of the dump truck. The average tri axle dump truck can hold 12 cubic yards of dirt, and a quad axle can hold 14.
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.
It can vary, but usually 10 cubic yards.
17 tons
How many cubic yards will my dump truck hold it is 16x5.5x8
How much dirt a dump truck holds will vary based on the size of the truck. Small dump trucks can hold around 7 cubic yards. Large double axle dump trucks can hold up to 20 tons.
20
Well you figger a dump truck hauls 12 yards... that's 33 truck loads.
Provided it's not a short tandem, 15 yards with a 'rock tub' dump body and 16 yards with a 'dirt tub' dump body are typical.

I would like to see 20 cubic yards on a tandem. I would hate to pay that overload ticket.
That depends on the configuration. It could be anywhere from 10 to 30.
