Dump trucks come in many sizes and configurations. You could be talking about anything from a one ton pickup with a dump body all the way up to a 'superdump' with three additional lift axles and an extension bar which extends the wheelbase to the maximum legal length.

As a default, let's assume we're referring a tandem axle truck with no additional lift axles, and not pulling a pup trailer behind it. Typically, a gross weight of 54,000 lbs. is permitted. Depending on the tare (empty) weight, this normally permits 14 - 15 tons of material to be carried.

whats your opinion on dump trucks?

Dump Trucks are good to have. They make it easier to discard of items or to move things since the truck is mobile compared to dropped dumpsters. They can carry twice as much as your average pickup truck can. I wouldn't mind working in a dump truck. It wouldn't be no different than working with anything else.
