That depends on the configuration of the dump truck(s), and what your state allows for tri-axle, quad axle, etc. dumps. If you're just using tandem dump trucks, the federal weight limit is 54,000 lbs. You'd be good for about 15 tons per truck. In North Carolina, a quad axle could haul 18 tons on primary roads, and 20 tons on secondary roads. What is allowed for tri-axle, quad axle, quint axle, and centipedes varies by state.
If you're using single axle trucks, there's some variables here, as well. If it's a non-CDL truck, rated at 26,000 lbs., those are good for about five tons each, while a 33,000 lb. CDL truck is good for about eight.
