Typically, around 15 tons.
This depends on the capacity of the dump truck and the depth of the spread.
A dump truck with two drive axles.
A dump truck with two (tandem) rear pulling axles supported by a third fixed axle located in the middle of the truck which only reaches the ground after a certain amount of load weight.

In the US, typically 15 tons (give or take, depending on wheelbase and tare weight of the vehicle)
A tandem dump truck typically holds between 10 to 16 cubic yards of gravel, depending on its size and configuration. The exact capacity can vary based on the truck's design and the density of the gravel being loaded. It's important to check the specific specifications of the truck for accurate measurements.
A tandem dump truck typically has a payload capacity ranging from 10 to 16 tons, depending on its size and configuration. The exact capacity can vary based on the truck's specifications and local regulations regarding weight limits. Generally, these trucks are designed for heavy loads, making them suitable for construction and transportation of materials like gravel, sand, or debris. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for precise capacity details.
A tandem dump truck is as normal as any other dump truck. Tandem simply indicates that it has two drive axles (as opposed to a single axle, which only has one). A tandem dump is typically allowed to gross at 54,000 lbs. From there, some dump trucks have additional axles (lift axles) which allow them to haul more weight. They're named in accordance with the number of axles behind the cab (i.e., not including the steer axle). So a tandem dump with a single lift axle would be referred to as a tri-axle, with two lift axles it would be referred to as a quad axle dump, with three lift axles it would be referred to as a quint axle dump.... at four lift axles, they're typically referred to as 'centipedes'.
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.
