Best Answer

A dump truck's capacity depends upon the size of the truck. Dump trucks can carry as little as 2 cubic yards and as many as 30 cubic yards of material. Topsoil is sold by the yard. Contact your local supplier for pricing.

I checked a few websites and there isn't a lot of agreement, because topsoil content and moisture content can vary. The attached link says a cubic yard is around 1 ton, and the calculator gives 1.1 tons, and other links say 1.2 tons.

Cubic feet are a measure of volume, yards are a measure of distance. It is not possible to compare the two. However, if you want to compare cubic feet to cubic yards , often referred to as a yard, there are 3 feet X 3 feet X 3 feet, or 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.

How many dump truck loads in one thousand cubic yards?

Depends on the size of the dump truck bed, however if you have a 20 cubic yard bed on the dump truck and you fill it up, you'll have 50 loads. 1000 divided by 20 equals 50. If your dump bed was 30 cubic yards, like mine is, there would be 33.3333 loads. This also depends on the weight of the material, as the more dense the material the more it will weigh and the less you can legally haul.
