- Weight rating of the tag or pusher axle. A 20k lift axle with four tires is rated significantly higher than a 5k, 8k, etc. steerable lift axle.
- Wheelbase of the vehicle: Longer trucks can have a higher gross weight, as per bridge law formula.
- State law. Some states have higher weight limits than alloted per the federal bridge law formula, due to the grandfather clause.
- Tare (empty) weight of the vehicle. Vehicles are rated for the weight they're allowed to gross. Gross weight the combined tare weight of the vehicle and net weight of the payload.
- Road type. In several states, vehicles are allowed to gross 10% (or more) higher than they'd be allowed on a primary/arterial road.
Generally speaking, between 16 and 20 tons, depending on these factors.

That depends on the configuration of the dump truck(s), and what your state allows for tri-axle, quad axle, etc. dumps. If you're just using tandem dump trucks, the federal weight limit is 54,000 lbs. You'd be good for about 15 tons per truck. In North Carolina, a quad axle could haul 18 tons on primary roads, and 20 tons on secondary roads. What is allowed for tri-axle, quad axle, quint axle, and centipedes varies by state. If you're using single axle trucks, there's some variables here, as well. If it's a non-CDL truck, rated at 26,000 lbs., those are good for about five tons each, while a 33,000 lb. CDL truck is good for about eight.
