You also need to specify the average depth.(And by "yards" we assume you mean cubic yards).
You are mixing volume (square yard) and area (length x width). How deep do you want the dirt? One foot deep you need about 80 square yards of dirt.
A yard of dirt is 3ft x 3ft x 3ft, or 27 cubic ft. The hole you need to fill is 8ft x 4ft x 1ft, or 32 cubic ft. You'll need 32/27th yards of dirt, or about 1.19 yards of dirt. Call it a yard and a half if you want to account for settling.

2.37 cubic yards.
To calculate the volume of dirt needed to fill the area, you would need to know the depth of the area in yards. If the depth is 3 yards, then you would need 1800 yards of dirt (600 cubic yards ÷ 3 yards). If the depth is 1 yard, then you would need 600 yards of dirt.

You need 100 cubic yards for every 3-ft deep you want to spread it.
You will need approximately 1 cubic yard of dirt for a trench that is 1 foot wide, 36 feet long, and 3 inches deep.

Need to know the specifics of the dump truck you had in mind. Tandem axle dumps in the company I work for... if they have a 'dirt tub' body, they can carry 16 cubic yards. The ones with the 'rock tub' dump bodies can carry 15 cubic yards.
