Dump trucks come in many sizes and configurations. Additionally, once you start getting into tri-axles, quad axles, quints, centipedes, and 'superdumps', laws between states tend to vary greatly as to what they'll allow for weight limits.
A single axle Class 7 truck which a GVWR of 33,000 should be able to haul eight tons. Some states may allow a higher gross weight on secondary roads. For a tandem, 14 - 15 tons would be the norm with a GVWR of 54000 lbs.

How much does a dump truck load of gravel cost?

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.

whats your opinion on dump trucks?
Dump Trucks are good to have. They make it easier to discard of items or to move things since the truck is mobile compared to dropped dumpsters. They can carry twice as much as your average pickup truck can. I wouldn't mind working in a dump truck. It wouldn't be no different than working with anything else.
