Hauling Capacity Overview
Maximum Legal Payload: Weight Limit: 34,000 lbs
(This is the practical limit — weight is the restricting factor on heavy materials)

Heavier Materials (Sand, Gravel, Dirt, Rock)
Typical Volume Hauled: 10–12 cubic yards
Why?: These materials are dense → you hit the weight limit (34,000 lbs) before filling the bed’s full volume (22.23 yd³)

Example Densities:
Sand: ~2,700 lb/yd³ → 12 yd³ ≈ 32,400 lbs
Gravel: ~3,000 lb/yd³ → 11.3 yd³ ≈ 33,900 lbs
Dirt: ~2,200 lb/yd³ → 15.4 yd³ ≈ 33,880 lbs

Lighter Materials (Bark, Topsoil)
Typical Volume Hauled: 15–17 cubic yards
Why?: These materials are light → you hit the volume capacity (max 22.23 yd³) before reaching the weight limit

Example Densities:
Bark mulch: ~600 lb/yd³ → 17 yd³ ≈ 10,200 lbs
Topsoil: ~1,200 lb/yd³ → 17 yd³ ≈ 20,400 lbs

Summary: Volume vs Weight Limits
Material Type Volume Hauled (yd³) Weight Approx. (lbs) Limiting Factor
Sand/Gravel/Dirt 10–12 ~30,000–34,000 Weight
Bark/Topsoil/etc. 15–17 ~10,000–20,000 Volume
