They both do. The driveshaft turns a differential which distributes power to both axles.
A Class 8 truck is a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 33,000 lbs. Single axle trucks with an additional lift axle, tandem axle trucks, tandem axle trucks with additional lift axles, and tractor-trailer dumps are all Class 8 trucks.
The "tandem" part means it has two drive axles, although it is possible for a tandem truck to be a 6x2 vehicle, and have only one of those be a live axle.
Tandem by definition is two. So tandem axle is two axles. Example would be a tractor trailer having two axles next to each other is a tandem axle.

They both are.
Tandem axle weight refers to the total weight that is distributed across two axles on a vehicle, such as trucks or trailers. This measurement is crucial for maintaining proper load distribution and ensuring that the vehicle adheres to legal weight limits for safe operation on roads. Overloading a tandem axle can lead to increased wear on tires, suspension issues, and potential safety hazards. It is typically measured using scales specifically designed for weighing vehicles.
Both of them.

Dump trucks come in many sizes and configurations. Additionally, vehicle weight laws vary greatly between countries. We would have to have some idea of what configuration and jurisdiction you had in mind. Configurations of dump trucks would include single axle, tandem axle, tandem axle with twin steer, tri-axle, quad axle, quint axle, centipede, tractor-trailer end dump, etc.
A tandem truck usually refers to the amount of axles on the trailer or tractor. A single drive axle on a tractor would be referred to as a single, or the same for one axle on the trailer. I have seen it referred to the amount of tires on the end of an axle. When there are two tires on the end of the axle, that would be referred to as a dual, not a tandem.
They both should.
