You engage the PTO system, then you actuate the lever to raise the dump body. If you have something like an electrical system (for a one ton pickup), then it's just the push of a button.

How much volume does a typical dump truck hold?

What is considered a straight truck?

How is a dump truck when the box is raised?
The bed, not the box. At that point, it becomes very top heavy and unstable, and the driver must be certain to have that truck level when they raise the bed. However, most dump/tipper trucks will allow a little leniency as far as that goes, although I wouldn't dare raise the bed of a centipede (four additional lift axles, and typically a bed of well over 25 feet) unless I was on perfectly stable ground. The worst of the all are frameless end dump tractor trailers.

In idle? The configuration of the tractor has nothing to do with determining that. It's the motor which does, and the consumption rate in idle for a motor would be the same for a tandem axle dump truck as it would be for the same motor in a road tractor, box truck, quad axle dump truck, cement mixer, etc.
