Commercial Dump Truck Payload Logistics

Payload capacities for Single, Tandem, Tri-Axle, and End-Dump semi trailers.

TRI-AXLE DUMP (15-18 TONS) TRUCK CAPACITIES • Single Axle: 5–7 Tons (4–5 yd³) • Tandem Axle: 10–12 Tons (8–10 yd³) • Tri-Axle: 15–18 Tons (12–15 yd³) • End Dump Semi: 22–26 Tons

🚚

Required Loads Formula

Calculates integer dump truck loads needed for total project tonnage.

Loads = ⌈ Total Weight (tons) / Truck Capacity (tons) ⌉
💰

Freight & Delivery Budget

Calculates drop fees plus mileage distance fuel surcharges.

Delivery Cost = Drop Fee + (Distance (miles) × Rate/Mile)
📦

Split Load Multiplier

Extra delivery runs required when ordering multiple aggregate types.

Total Deliveries = Sand Loads + Gravel Loads
