The amount of cubic yards a dump truck can carry would depend on the size of the dump truck. A small 1 ton dump, for example, could carry up to 5 yards of material if there are sides built up on it. However, if the material is heavy, the truck would be limited by the weight. A large tandem axle dump truck, can usually hold approximately 13 yards of material. Then there are single axle dump trucks that can carry approximately 6 yards.
