You would have to define "typical". A dump truck could be anything from a Class 1 to a Class 8 truck. Assuming you consider a tandem axle dump truck to be the norm, the permitted GVW in most states would be in the vicinity of 54,000 lbs.

How much volume does a typical dump truck hold?

The volume that a dump truck can hold depends on the size of the truck. You could say that there is no 'typical' dump truck. The horsepower, the axle weight, and the size of the box are a few of the features that determine how much the truck can hold and haul.

What is the GVW of your 2004 Mack quad axle CV713 dump truck?

Please tell me you're not an owner/op who doesn't know this. Your manufacturer's GVW is going to be the combined weight ratings of the tandem and steer axles. If you have 40k rears and an 18k steer, you have a manufacturer's GVW of 58k - your pushers are aftermarket, and are not counted in the manufacturer's GVW. As for legal GVW, that depends on bridge law formula, and what your state's disposition is on primary and secondary roads. The last dump truck I drove was a tandem axle T800. I could gross 54k on secondary roads, but only 51.5k on the Interstate.


What does the GVW on a truck mean If you had a triaxle dump truck with a GVW of 60000 does that mean your truck can weight up to that much what if you decided to pull a trailer that weighed 20000?

GVW is gross vehicle weight which is different than GCWR (gross combination weight rating). Pulling a trailer weighing 10 tons should not cause you any problems. However I am assuming you have your dump tagged at a little less than 55,000 to avoid paying heavy use tax. Even if this is not the case and you have tagged it for a heaver weight be aware that pulling that trailer while dump and trailer are loaded may put yousignificantly over your tagged weight. Just watch your gross weight or you can re-tag your dump for 80,000. When GCWR is not available on the power unit DOT will add the GVW for the dump and the trailer to get a GCW (gross combination weight).

If my tri axle dump truck has a GVW of 70000 can weigh up to that much what if I add a 20000 lb trailer what if I add a 25000 lb machine?

GVW means Gross Vehicle Weight. That's the maximum permissible weight of the truck plus the trailer (in the case of a combination rig) plus the load. Therefore...if you take your dump truck, hook a 20,000-lb empty trailer to it and put a 25,000-lb backhoe on the trailer, the truck needs to weigh less than 25,000 lbs if you want to remain legal.
