Need to know the specifics of the dump truck you had in mind. Tandem axle dumps in the company I work for... if they have a 'dirt tub' body, they can carry 16 cubic yards. The ones with the 'rock tub' dump bodies can carry 15 cubic yards.
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.
Provided it's not a short tandem, 15 yards with a 'rock tub' dump body and 16 yards with a 'dirt tub' dump body are typical.
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.
That depends on the configuration. It could be anywhere from 10 to 30.
17 tons
Well you figger a dump truck hauls 12 yards... that's 33 truck loads.
It depends on the size of the dump trucks, but assuming a standard dump truck can hold about 10-15 cubic yards of dirt, it would take approximately 260,000 to 390,000 dump trucks to move 3.9 million cubic yards of dirt.
The cost of a dump truck load of dirt can vary depending on factors such as location, quantity, and type of dirt. On average, it can range from $200 to $1,200 for a typical load. It is recommended to contact local suppliers or hauling companies for specific pricing.
A standard dump truck typically holds about 10 to 14 cubic yards of dirt, depending on its size and configuration. Smaller dump trucks may carry around 5 to 10 cubic yards, while larger models can accommodate up to 20 cubic yards or more. The actual capacity can vary based on the type of dirt and how it is loaded. Always check with the specific truck’s specifications for accurate measurements.

Your dump truck will hold approximately 176 cubic yards. This can be calculated by multiplying the dimensions together (16 x 5.5 x 8 = 704) and then converting the result from cubic inches to cubic yards (704 / 46,656 = 0.0151).
