Kenworth doesn't make a T60. Since you said "dump truck" and not "tipper", I'll assume you meant the North American T600, and not one of the Australian variants (such as the T604). What you saw was probably a road tractor conversion - I've never seen a T600 which came from the factory as a dump truck or any other type of rigid (although I can't say that they don't exist). Next time you see it, take a look at the back. If you see air bags, then it has an air ride suspension, and was certainly a road tractor conversion. If it has a Camelback, Chalmers, etc. suspension, it was some type of sitework vehicle - it may have been a tractor, or it may have come from the factory as a rigid. The transmission and gear ratios would narrow it down.
As far as what it weighs, the T600 tends to be a bit heavy as far as road tractors go. However, if it were a road tractor conversion, and a double frame wasn't installed, you'd save some weight there (but lose durability). Depending on configuration, bed (material, length, wall height), you'd be looking at anywhere from 22,000 - 28,000 lbs.
The weight of a 1988 Kenworth dump truck can vary depending on its configuration and specifications, such as engine type and bed size. Generally, a typical Kenworth dump truck from that era can weigh between 20,000 to 40,000 pounds when empty. For precise weight, it’s best to refer to the specific model and any additional equipment it may have.
The volume that a dump truck can hold depends on the size of the truck. You could say that there is no 'typical' dump truck. The horsepower, the axle weight, and the size of the box are a few of the features that determine how much the truck can hold and haul.
about 5 ton depending on how much the truck weighs and what the truck is plated for in your state
Depends on what the truck and dump body is rated for.
Varies by frame length, material used for the body, whether or not it has additional tag axles, etc. You could be looking at anywhere from 16,000 - 18,000 lbs. for a single axle truck to somewhere between 24,000 - 28,000 for a quad axle truck.
What type and configuration of dump truck? A single axle dump truck is going to be much shorter than a centipede, and you could be referring to any dump truck in between the two extremes, as well.

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.
This depends on the capacity of the dump truck and the depth of the spread.
The weight that can be carried on a single axle dump truck typically ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 pounds, depending on the truck's design and specifications. Factors such as the truck's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), local regulations, and the type of materials being loaded can also influence this capacity. It's important to check the manufacturer's guidelines and adhere to local weight limits for safe operation.
I found out how much my truck was by going to the dump, your recipt will have your before and after weight. A truck stop, Hwy weigh station or salvage yard also have scales and could give you an exact weight.
look in the door jam my 68 c-60 says 24000
