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.
It's a dump truck with four axles--the steer axle in front and three axles in back. One of them moves up and down via a control in the cab, so the tires aren't on the road if the truck's not loaded. A tri-axle dump truck carries more weight than a one-axle or two-axle truck.
A North American truck will be 96" wide.
That's going to depend on the dump truck's configuration. It could be a single axle, tandem, tri-axle, quad axle, quint axle, centipede, frameless end dump, framed end dump, etc.
12 or 14. Depends if lift axle has dual tires or not.
In the vicinity of 22,000 - 25,000 lbs.
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.
It varies from state to state, and will also be dependent on the tare weight of the truck. I can tell you that, in North Carolina, 13 to 15 tons is the norm for a tri-axle dump truck.
A tri-axle dump truck in Pennsylvania typically has a payload capacity of approximately 12 to 16 tons of gravel, depending on the truck's specific configuration and weight limits. The legal weight limit for a tri-axle truck is generally around 60,000 pounds, which includes the weight of the truck itself. Therefore, the exact capacity can vary based on local regulations and the truck's specifications.
Need to know the specific model and configuration (e.g., single axle, tandem, tri-axle, quad axle, centipede) in order to answer this.
Go to a truck driving school. You're not going to learn how to drive a Class 8 truck by reading about it on this website.
