How many yards of fill can a typical dumptruck hold? Can't you use about 3 yds/truck for purposes of estimating?

Also, I was just curious about what kind of ESAL value a typical concrete truck would have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Volume of dumptruck
Anyway, I just need a rough estimate of ESALs. I don't need exact values for the trucks because it's all just a rough guess while trying to be very conservative.
I'm just looking for typical values of dumptrucks used to haul cut/fill material on regular construction projects. I'm looking for a ballpark number of ESALs erroring on the conservative side.
Is 3 ESALs reasonable for a dumptruck that will haul 5 CY? Is it too conservative?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How many truckloads do you expect on it?
RE: Volume of dumptruck
The standard truck trailer has the capacity to carry much more than 10 cy's but is limited by the DOT 40,000 lbs payload limit.
If you are only doing off road construction, your carrying capacity will be higher than an over the road hauling truck. Suggest you talk to a contractor experienced in that work.

RE: Volume of dumptruck
Considering the truck HS20-44 truck that PEinc mentions (3 axles spaced 14' apart at 8k, 32k, 32k) what is a general value for the ESAL?
I'm assuming general conditions of SN=3, pt=2.5. Can anybody help me out with what a general ballpark value for the ESAL will be for this truck? Anything?
My reference doesn't have an ESAL equation and the one that I've seen looks tremendously complicated. Any help on this one would be much appreciated.

What are some typical ESAL values you've come up with for an HS20-44 truck for flexible pavement. I'm just looking for someone with experience here. Please help!
