Six is pretty common for a small-to-average dump truck. Anything much
bigger and you really don't want it backing onto your driveway or in
your yard.

A very heavy duty pickup truck can carry almost 2 yards.

Best regards,
Bob

I needed 4 cubic yards a few years ago. The big trucks the suppliers used
wouldn't make a trip for that amount. But they dumped 4 yards for me when
they were servicing a bigger customer. You can inquire.

As you know, trucks come in a variety of sizes. Serious operators tend to
use big ones.
