A typical tri-axle dump truck can hold approximately 12 to 16 cubic yards of wet soil, depending on its specific dimensions and weight restrictions. It's important to consider that wet soil is heavier than dry soil, which may affect the truck's load capacity. Always check the truck's specifications and local regulations for weight limits before loading.
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.

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.
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.
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).
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.
The number of cubic yards that quint axle end dump truck could hold depends on the relative weight of the soil. Generally, soil weighs 2,000 to 2,700 pounds per yard. Since the capacity on the rear axles may be as much as 50,000 pounds, about 20 to 20 yards of soil could be carried by this type of truck.

Dump trucks typically don't haul liquid commodities, unless you're thinking of snow removal operations where they'll be outfitted with prewet or calcium chloride tanks. Even with that in mind, you need to remember that there are many different sizes of dump truck out there. 15 cubic yards is "typical" for a tandem axle dump truck.
I would like to see 20 cubic yards on a tandem. I would hate to pay that overload ticket.
