How much gravel can a dump truck hold?
depends on the size of the dump truck The size of the dump box (example if it can hold 10 cubic yards) and the legal loading limit for the roads / area and number of axles the truck has will determine the load it can carry. But let's say it can hold 10 cubic yards for this example. Gravel weighs approx 1.35 tons per cubic yard. So a 10 cy load would weigh 10 x 1.35 tons = 13.5 tons of gravel. An average tandem truck can carry @13 tons legally, the largest straight dump truck, a Strong super dump, can carry @26 tons with 7 axles including a Strong arm! This will be around the same for sand too. ADDITIONAL COMMENT: This might be useful for you to know. If a store is trying to sell you loose gravel , or other such natural products by weight, be sure to get the order when it hasn't been raining. Wet gravel, sand, dirt, and etc., weight MUCH more than dry, and you get a whole lot less for your money.

Typical commercial US dump trucks are double-axle dually setups carrying about 10 cubic yards of material, which is about 10 short tons for typical materials like gravel or soil. A big, heavy-duty triple-axle model might reach 15 tons. A single-axle model based on a passenger truck might only hold 3 tons. A side-dump semi trailer might hold 30 tons. Non-street legal ore transfer trucks hold up to 400 tons!
