It's a trick question. The gross weight would be the loaded weight (combined weight of both the truck itself AND its load). The empty weight would be the net or TARE weight.
Depends on the density of the material and the configuration of the truck, as well as the tare weight of the vehicle itself. You might be able to fit over 20 tons of a commodity into a 12 yard bed, but you'd almost certainly be well over the vehicle's legal gross weight. Need more specifics here.. single or tandem axle truck, etc.
15,000 - 16,000 lbs, depending on specifics.
That depends on what type of dump truck, what type of commodity, how it is measured (by weight or by cubic yard), and the state laws regarding weight allowances. A Class 7 single axle dump truck can typically haul eight to ten cubic yards, or up to eight tons of payload. A tandem axle dump truck can typically haul 15 to 20 yards, and anywhere between 12 and 16 tons of payload, dependent on truck specifications and local laws.
They're typically allowed, in the US, a gross vehicle weight of 54.000 lbs. How much that equates to in freight tonnage depends on the tare weight of the vehicle. A tandem dump truck can typically haul 15 tons. A tandem roll off with a 30 yard container is typically only good for 9 - 11 tons.
You mean a tandem axle straight truck... typically, the allotted Gross Vehicle Weight Rating for these ranges from 52,000 - 54,000, depending on wheelbase. The tare (empty) weight really depends on the configuration... a flatbed truck would likely weigh between 20,000 and 24,000 empty.. a dump truck, 22,000 - 25,000, a roll-off would be around 33,000 with a 30 yard can, etc.
Approximately 10 yards; but it depends on the weight of the topsoil, whether it is moist or dry.

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.
most likely not

That depends on the dimension of the dump body. The dump body could hold 15 - 20 cubic yards of material, typically. As for what can legally be hauled, it depends on the commodity and weight of the commodity per cubic yard, as well as state laws pertaining to what weight limits they allow for a tri-axle.
