A typical dump truck is equipped with an open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear andequipped with hydraulic pistons to lift the front, allowing the material in the bed to be deposited ("dumped") on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery.

The wages range depending on skill level and geographic area. Salaries for dump truck drivers are highest in the northeastern sections of the United States. Statistics from Indeed showed that salaries were higher in New York and Massachusetts than those in the South, Midwest and West. California dump truck drivers earn slightly more than in surrounding states, with annual salaries of $37,000 compared to $32,000 in Oregon and $30,000 in Arizona, two of the lowest just above Alaska and Hawaii.
