Dump Truck

A standard dump truck can carry between 10 and 16 yards of material in a single trip. It will usually measure 8-1/2 feet wide and 24-1/2 feet long. These trucks are designed to haul construction material. Construction material includes sand, water, coarse, aggregate, massive stone, topsoil, and dirt.
