Dump truck loads are measured in cubic yards. How many yards a dump truck can hold depends on the size of the truck. Some small, single-axle dump trucks hold 5 yards. Larger dump trucks can hold 10 to 15 yards. The weight of the load must also be considered; the average payload of a large dump truck is about 17 tons, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
