Your dump truck will hold approximately 176 cubic yards. This can be calculated by multiplying the dimensions together (16 x 5.5 x 8 = 704) and then converting the result from cubic inches to cubic yards (704 / 46,656 = 0.0151).
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.

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.

I would like to see 20 cubic yards on a tandem. I would hate to pay that overload ticket.

It depends on the size of the dump trucks, but assuming a standard dump truck can hold about 10-15 cubic yards of dirt, it would take approximately 260,000 to 390,000 dump trucks to move 3.9 million cubic yards of dirt.
The average dump truck can hold between 10 to 20 cubic yards of rubble. This volume can vary depending on the size and type of the dump truck. Remember to check the specific capacity of the dump truck you plan to use.
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.
How much dirt a dump truck holds will vary based on the size of the truck. Small dump trucks can hold around 7 cubic yards. Large double axle dump trucks can hold up to 20 tons.
That depends on what type of dump truck, what type of commodity, how it is measured (by weight or by cubic yard), and the state laws regarding weight allowances. A Class 7 single axle dump truck can typically haul eight to ten cubic yards, or up to eight tons of payload. A tandem axle dump truck can typically haul 15 to 20 yards, and anywhere between 12 and 16 tons of payload, dependent on truck specifications and local laws.
