15 cubic yards
There are many different sizes of dump trucks. They can hold anywhere from 5 cubic yards to 20 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).
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.

I would like to see 20 cubic yards on a tandem. I would hate to pay that overload ticket.
It depends on the size of the dump trucks, but assuming a standard dump truck can hold about 10-15 cubic yards of dirt, it would take approximately 260,000 to 390,000 dump trucks to move 3.9 million cubic yards of dirt.
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.
