A dump truck is simply a truck with a dump body - it could be a side dump, belly dump, or end dump. An end dump dumps out of the rear. "End dump" is generally used to refer to tractor-trailer end dumps, while single vehicle end dumps are generally just referred to as "dump trucks".
In idle? The configuration of the tractor has nothing to do with determining that. It's the motor which does, and the consumption rate in idle for a motor would be the same for a tandem axle dump truck as it would be for the same motor in a road tractor, box truck, quad axle dump truck, cement mixer, etc.
It can be anything from a Class 1 pickup truck with a dump bed all the way up to a Class 8 single vehicle or tractor-trailer.
Depends on the truck and configuration (e.g, tandem axle dump, tractor-trailer end dump, etc.).
Well, dump trucks range in size greatly. You can make a dump truck out of a one ton pickup truck, if you so wish. The US truck classification system lists a Class 8 truck as being anything over a 33,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. 33,000 lbs. is the max allowed for a two axle unit, so, basically, any tandem axle vehicle (and all tractor trailers) are going to be Class 8 trucks. However, the licence class in the USA is different. Most Class 7 and Class 8 dump trucks can be driven with a Class B CDL. However, if that dump truck is going to be towing a trailer rated at over 10,000 lbs., then the same Class A CDL required for a tractor trailer will be required to operate that combination of dump truck and trailer.
Check for proper air pressure in rear tires.
It can have anywhere from four (a small pickup with a dump body) to 22 or more (tractor and end dump trailer with lifting tag axles). For a straight truck in the US, the most wheels you'll get on a vehicle is a configuration which is known as a 'centipede' - it's a straight dump truck (10 wheels) with four lifting tag axles (8 more wheels), for a total of 18 wheels.

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.

Kenworth... what? Kenworth manufactures a range of trucks from Class 5 through Class 8... as is, we don't know if you're talking about a T300 box truck, a T800W heavy haul tractor, a W900L line haul tractor, a T800 dump truck, etc. Need to be more specific.
