How many flattened cars will fit in a 40' end dump?

Question

I need to hire a end dump and want to know 1st how many flattened cars one can hold.

Answer 1

A stripped and flattened average sized car weighs about one ton (2000 lbs). A forty ft tractor trailer can carry about 80,000 lbs. So subtracting the empty weight of the truck, approx. 35,000 to 40,000 lbs, that would allow you to carry about 20 to 22 squashed autos. I hope you realize there's alot of variables here !
