Dump trucks come in many shapes and sizes, and the same holds true with dump bodies. For a tandem, 13 - 15 tons is typical.
Depends on the truck and configuration (e.g, tandem axle dump, tractor-trailer end dump, etc.).
Depends on what the truck and dump body is rated for.
What type and configuration of dump truck? A single axle dump truck is going to be much shorter than a centipede, and you could be referring to any dump truck in between the two extremes, as well.

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.
The volume that a dump truck can hold depends on the size of the truck. You could say that there is no 'typical' dump truck. The horsepower, the axle weight, and the size of the box are a few of the features that determine how much the truck can hold and haul.
This depends on the capacity of the dump truck and the depth of the spread.
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.
You need to expense a dump truck at a dollars per hour, as mileage for dump trucking is mostly in a close in area to cities and mostly close to gravel pits, asphalt plants. My own experience is that for every mile you operate a dump truck the cost of operation are double that of road trucks, the wear and tear on them is so much more that the cost of operation is very high, fuel mileage is low due to constant start and stop.
The salary for a dump truck driver will vary depending on location, experience, and employer. On average, a dump truck driver will make an estimated $18.00 per hour.
