one normal dump truck carries 10 cubic yard, hence it would take 390,000 dump trucks to move 3.9M cubic yard of earth

Fill dirt is dirt that someone has removed from one area and needs to dump somewhere else. Often this is dirt that has been removed so that a swimming pool can be installed or excess dirt from clearing land for construction. There is clean fill dirt, which does not have trash, plant material, rocks or chemical additions and this is preferred for reuse in yards for planting.
The average amount of trash per year that people create is 230 million tons, and most of that amount ends up at a dump. In terms of how much is added to a dump per year that varies depending on how many people live in the area the dump serves and how much waste is brought to the dump.
Don't know the weight of the truck alone -- google it. Concrete (wet) could be assumed to be 145 pounds per cubic foot, and there are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. Compacted damp to dry soil (at "optimum moisture" for compacting) might run around 110 to 120 pounds per cubic foot, and loose soil would be considerably less (assuming it's dry and not saturated).
To cover 6 acres with two feet of soil requires 3227 cubic yards of soil. This would require about 1100 3 yard dump truck trips.
