First, the term "dirt" is way too vague. -it could be any of a number of types of soils,sands or rock, all of differing density. - An F-150 has a bed volume of approximately 2 cu yards. If you filled that level with standard, dry topsoil it will weigh approximately 2,000 pounds. Average building rubble will be about 3,200 pounds. Wet beach sand will be about 3,180 pounds
Need to know the specifics of the dump truck you had in mind. Tandem axle dumps in the company I work for... if they have a 'dirt tub' body, they can carry 16 cubic yards. The ones with the 'rock tub' dump bodies can carry 15 cubic yards.
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.
14 cubic yards
Your dump truck will hold approximately 176 cubic yards. This can be calculated by multiplying the dimensions together (16 x 5.5 x 8 = 704) and then converting the result from cubic inches to cubic yards (704 / 46,656 = 0.0151).
A standard short-bed pickup(6' x 4'6" x 18") will hold approximately 1.5 cubic yards. With a plastic bed liner the same truck will hold approximately 1.333 cubic yards. A full-size truck(8' x 5.33' x 18") will hold about 2.5 cubic yards. You also should account for the wheel wells that protrude into the bed. They can be a small factor to consider if you want to maximize your load without over filling it. Adding to a good answer: Also consider the weight of the contents youll be hauling. 1 cubic yard of topsoil will weigh about 2400 pounds depending on the moisture content. Unless your truck is rated to carry more than 1 ton you may want to consider loading half yards at a time.
At U-Haul, the smallest truck that will hold 40 cubic yards (1,080 cubic feet) is a 24-foot truck. You will also need to check the weight capacity.
Neither a 14-foot truck nor a 17-foot truck is large enough to hold 40 cubic yards.
I would like to see 20 cubic yards on a tandem. I would hate to pay that overload ticket.
In the US, dirt is measured in cubic yards. The average full sized pick up truck can usually hold about 2 to 3 cubic yards of dirt or topsoil. It varies a bit depending on the size of the pick-up and how strong its springs are. If you are having it filled for the first time, take it slow and watch how much the truck drops as it is being loaded.
