Legally, it's usually around
A standard tandem load typically holds around 10 cubic yards of material. It can vary slightly depending on the specific dimensions of the truck bed and how the material is loaded.
i believe a tri axlw will hold about 14 yards of top soil A Tri-Axle will hold up to20 - 25 yards of soil depending on weight. A Tandem will hold about 14 - 17 yards of soil. Tri-axle can hold about 30 yards of mulch. How much it will hold, depends on the size of the box. I can 'legally' load 20 yds of 'pit-run' (gravel) in a 24 foot tandem trailer (in my province).
Roughly 6 yards - typically half the weight rating of a tandem axle truck - of course this will depend on the type of material you're hauling. Wet saturated materials and coarse rock will be less volumetrically than sand, organic soil etc.
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.
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.

One cu.yd. of soil weighs approximately a ton. so you 75 will be close to 75 tons. I've had it delivered sometimes and a tandem axle dump truck usually brough 15 yards max.
There is about 2800lbs in 2 yards of top soil.

To cover 6 acres with two feet of soil requires 3227 cubic yards of soil. This would require about 1100 3 yard dump truck trips.
Approximately 10 yards; but it depends on the weight of the topsoil, whether it is moist or dry.
to figure yards of soil you need cubic feet ( 400 sq ft X how deep??)then divide by 9
