"Dump truck" (or "tipper") is a pretty ambiguous term. It's simply a truck with a dump body. You could take an older one ton pickup with a three speed transmission, and put a dump body on that.
As far as the big ones go, it varies. For some odd reason, the Eaton SmartShift, Meritor, etc. nine through 18 speed speed automatic transmissions haven't been made available for most straight truck applications, so your automatic trucks will have five or six gears (the Allison six speed auto is popular for sitework trucks), whereas manual transmissions will range from eight to 18 gears. The 8LL tends to be more popular for sitework trucks which will go off-road.. the 8LL is basically a nine speed with low reduction gears on the low side. For a dump truck which is doing something exclusively on-road, like stock hauling, the owner may opt for something like a straight nine, ten, 13, or 18 speed, rather than the 8LL, as they're not likely to have any use for the low reduction gears that might be necessary for a sitework truck which would be prone to going off road.
