How much volume does a typical dump truck hold?
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.

How big is a dump truck box?
You'd have to give me some idea of what type of dump truck you had in mind. You could be talking about anything from something mounted on a one ton pickup chassis all the way up to an off-road dump truck rated to haul over 400 tons.
How much fuel does a tandem dump truck use per hour?
In idle? The configuration of the tractor has nothing to do with determining that. It's the motor which does, and the consumption rate in idle for a motor would be the same for a tandem axle dump truck as it would be for the same motor in a road tractor, box truck, quad axle dump truck, cement mixer, etc.
The Dump Truck?
Dump trucks are handy vehicles that are commonly used to transport things such as rocks and dirt for construction and landscaping. Dump trucks are characterized by an open box bed of the truck with a hydraulic hinge at the back allowing all the “cargo” to be deposited behind the truck. Different Kinds of Dump Trucks You can find many models of dump trucks. The classic one is the basic truck characterized by an open box bed with a hydraulic hinge at the back. There are also articulated dump trucks that have hydraulic rams for steering that allow the vehicle to pivot. Articulated dump trucks are called Yukes. Transfer dump trucks are a standard dump truck that pulls a trailer. The second trailer can also be filled with sand, gravel or snow. There is also a triple transfer train that can be found in this family of dump truck. Transfer trucks are often seen in the western part of the U.S., but the triple model is usually not seen outside of Nevada or Utah. The truck and pup is another kind of dump truck. This truck is a bit like the transfer dump truck, but unlike the transfer dump truck, the pup trailer has its own hydraulic lift. A super dump trick is a normal dump truck that comes with special weight bearing axel. This axel is called a Trailing axle, and the dump truck portion is generally about four meters behind the rear tandem. Semi-Trailer Trucks Other models of dump trucks are the semi-trailer family, which come in different varieties. The semi end dump trailer holds a hydraulic hoist. Its advantage is fast unloading. It is limited because it is unstable when dumping. The Semi-Trailer Bottom Dump Truck has a special gate at the bottom center of the truck for unloading. This type of truck can also come in double or triple versions. You can also buy side dump trucks that load out the side and unlike the above trucks they are not likely to tip over. For heavy construction, there are the off-road dump trucks. These are used for heavy dirt hauling and mining operations. Lots of models of trucks make up the category of dump truck.
How do you raise a dump truck dump box?
You engage the PTO system, then you actuate the lever to raise the dump body. If you have something like an electrical system (for a one ton pickup), then it's just the push of a button.

No. You don't want to float a synch box, either.

Dump Trucks: Share the Road Safely?
Dump trucks and standard-sized vehicles can share the road safely if drivers are aware and understand how dump trucks operate. There are many common mistakes drivers of average-sized vehicles make when encountering dump trucks on the roadways. Blind Spots on Dump Trucks A dump truck has many blind spots that don’t allow its driver to see standard-sized, especially very small, vehicles. The truck driver cannot see directly under the front hood area. Small cars can disappear entirely from the truck driver’s sight in this zone. If a car follows too closely in the rear they also cannot be seen. One of the worse blind spots is the passenger side of the dump truck, from the door to the front nose. Avoid driving in this area. You will be best seen beside the truck’s box. If there are several lanes, the safest side to pass a dump truck is on its driver’s side. Dump Trucks Cannot Stop Fast The average dump truck and trailer weighs about 100,000-105,000 pounds when fully loaded. It takes a much longer distance to stop a dump truck than a 2,500 pound vehicle. Allow plenty of room before pulling out or merging in front of a dump truck. Watch out for Trailers Accidents can occur when inattentive drivers change lanes or merge onto highways. If waiting on a dump truck to go by you before changing lanes, be sure to look to see if it is pulling a trailer. Many drivers accidentally merge into or beside the truck’s reach—the long metal piece connecting the trailer to the truck—as they change lanes. Some states allow trucks to pull two trailers, which means you need to wait for both trailers to pass. Never Pass a Turning Truck Never try to pass a turning dump truck. They need plenty of space to maneuver around corners. Stay out of the “bite” or “death” zone, which is in the inner part of the u-shape trucks make when turning. You cannot be seen at all. The trailer will run over your vehicle as the truck straightens out and begins pulling its trailer forward. Stay well behind the trailer until the turn is complete.
