In the context of the foreign exchange market, traders liquidate their positions in various currencies to take up positions in safe-haven currencies, such as the US dollar. Sometimes, the choice of a safe haven currency is more of a choice based on prevailing sentiments rather than one of economic statistics.
Typical commercial US dump trucks are double-axle dually setups carrying about 10 cubic yards of material, which is about 10 short tons for typical materials like gravel or soil. A big, heavy-duty triple-axle model might reach 15 tons. A single-axle model based on a passenger truck might only hold 3 tons. A side-dump semi trailer might hold 30 tons.
Best Answer: Dump trucks are rated by how many cubic yards they carry. Of the ones I've dealt with (single unit highway trucks with 6 to 10 wheels) the smallest carry 2 or 3 yards and the largest carry 8 or 9 yards. Dump truck semi-trailers and off-road equipment such as are used at mines carry much more. Source(s):
