If you’re planning to haul material for landscaping in Madison, you may be wondering, “How many tons does my truck hold?” You can find the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) on your registration. If you know the weight of the dump truck and how much you need to haul, you can make an educated guess. Generally, dump trucks weigh close to their load capacity. If a dump truck is filled to capacity with 6.5 tons, the truck and load will probably weigh around 13 tons.
When it comes to outdoor projects, there are all sorts of materials measured in cubic yards, including fill dirt, mulch, pea gravel, topsoil, organic compost, and more. You can easily find cubic yard calculators online, but here’s a quick formula to use if you’re without a smartphone or computer:
To sum up, the answer to “how many cubic yards does a dump truck hold” depends on the truck and its size.
