It depends on the size of the dump truck.
It depends on the size of the truck.
Typically, and legally, around 15 tons, give or take depending on the tare weight of the vehicle.
One and five/eights. Assuming you're referring to US short tons (2000 lbs), the total weight of the payload would be 3,250 lbs.
That depends on what type of dump truck, what type of commodity, how it is measured (by weight or by cubic yard), and the state laws regarding weight allowances. A Class 7 single axle dump truck can typically haul eight to ten cubic yards, or up to eight tons of payload. A tandem axle dump truck can typically haul 15 to 20 yards, and anywhere between 12 and 16 tons of payload, dependent on truck specifications and local laws.
Concrete is measured in yards, not tons. As for permissible tonnage on a dump truck, it'll vary by state. IIRC, in North Carolina, a tri-axle dump is typically good for 16 - 18 tons, dependent on tare weight, wheelbase, and whether they're traveling on primary or secondary roads.
It varies from state to state, and will also be dependent on the tare weight of the truck. I can tell you that, in North Carolina, 13 to 15 tons is the norm for a tri-axle dump truck.
If a dump truck is hauling 34 tons of stone that is 68000 pounds of stone. Tons is a just a short way of saying it.
In the US, typically 15 tons (give or take, depending on wheelbase and tare weight of the vehicle)
The average heavy-duty straight job ( non-articulated truck) weighs in the neighborhood of 32,000 lbs, or sixteen tons on the nose ( of the Bulldog).
