About Dump Trucks

A dump truck is a must for any business that calls for moving heavy items or loose materials. At Transwest, we carry top brands of commercial trucks including Freightliner and Western Star. We know that a quality vehicle you can count on for years to come is an important investment. Trust our team to direct you to the makes and models that have proven their worth. Our team is also equipped to assist you with financing options to match your needs.

Purchasing a dump truck is a major business investment. You have a specific job to do and you need equipment that can handle the work ahead. When you visit with our staff, we will ask you questions about how much you will be hauling and what type of work you will be doing. This will allow us to direct you to the truck that best suits your purpose.

Choosing a new vehicle doesn’t have to be a difficult decision. With the right staff on your side, you can quickly find the ideal fit. Whether you need a small dump truck or a semi-trailer style, we can assist you in locating the right commercial truck for your business.

FAQs

What is a dump truck?

A dump truck is a heavy-duty truck that is designed to take loads of goods, such as sand or gravel, from one location to another. This vehicle is unique in that it not only carries heavy loads but also makes unloading simple. Utilizing hydraulics, a loaded dump truck can be emptied through a simple process in which a hinge carefully releases the truck’s contents onto the ground. For this reason, these specialty trucks are classic workhorses that are often utilized in businesses where large amounts of heavy, loose materials must be moved and re-deposited in another location. 

Dump trucks come in a variety of styles- from side-tippers to end dumps. The type needed will depend greatly on the job at hand. Additionally, these trucks are available in a range of sizes like the semi-truck style and smaller transfer dump trucks. 

Do you need a CDL for a dump truck?

In most cases, you and your drivers will need a CDL to operate any dump truck. The only exception would be if the truck has a GVW of 26,000 pounds or less. Since this is rarely the case, the only situation where it would apply is in the use of a 1-ton pickup with a dump body.

The type of CDL you need will depend on the size of the truck you choose. Because dump trucks vary so greatly in size, it is best to check with local authorities if you are uncertain what kind of CDL you need to operate the vehicle you are looking to purchase. Most of the time, you will need either a Class B or a Class A CDL to operate this equipment.

What are the different types of dump trucks?

Dump trucks come in an array of styles and sizes. The biggest difference in style has to do with how the truck unloads its contents. In the case of an end dump truck, the back end opens to release the load. In other situations, the entire body of the bed will roll to the side and pour the haul out to the left or right of the truck.

Different styles of these specialty trucks include the following:

  • Standard dump trucks
  • Semi-trailer end dump trucks and semi-trailer bottom dump trucks
  • Transfer dump trucks
  • Super dump trucks
  • Side dump trucks
  • Roll-off dump trucks

Each style comes with its own unique benefits. Choosing the right one will depend on exactly how the truck will be used.

How many tons will a dump truck hold?

Dump trucks are designed to carry great amounts of weight. Larger versions of this truck can carry, on average, around 28,000 pounds. Smaller dump trucks carry approximately 13,000 to 15,000 pounds. Most dump trucks can also come equipped with tarps to keep debris in while going down the road.

How do you choose the right dump truck to buy?

Choosing a dump truck is a big decision. You’re making a large investment in a vehicle that can handle heavy use. You also want to be sure that the commercial truck you buy will be reliable for the job at hand. For these reasons, focusing on quality is the key to deciding on the right make and model.

Prior to making this purchase, outline what your specific hauling needs are and what style of dump truck you are looking for. Do your research into the types available on the market and match your options to the specific job you will be doing. For example, someone working in the oil industry may require a dump truck to haul large amounts of sand. A landscaper who moves smaller amounts of dirt from job sites has very different needs.
