Your question is too vague to give a good answer. You didn't specify if you were buying new or used, and, if buying used, what the make, model, mileage, hours, drivetrain, etc., are. One word of advice - avoid road tractors with a dump body thrown on them. You absolutely do not want an air ride suspension in a dump truck, they lack the double frame, they're geared to be on the road, rather than for sitework, and, if you're running a dump, the 12k front and 38 or 40k rear axles are a bit light for your needs - you want at least a 14k front and 44k rears. If you're interested in a quad axle with an 18 ft. aluminum bed, I can pass on the number of a guy selling a 1993 Mack RD688S with a MaxiTorque transmission in North Carolina. Other than that, try bigtrucktrader.com and compare what's available on there.

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.
