To determine how many cubic yards of sand you can haul in your truck and still qualify as a passenger vehicle, we would need to know the maximum weight limit for a passenger vehicle and the carrying capacity of your truck.
In most U.S. states, vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less are considered passenger vehicles. Assuming your truck falls under this category and has a carrying capacity of 1,000 pounds (for example), you would need to calculate the number of cubic yards of sand you can haul:
Cubic Yards of Sand = Truck Carrying Capacity / Weight of Sand per Cubic Yard
Cubic Yards of Sand = 1,000 pounds / 1,600 pounds
Cubic Yards of Sand = 0.625 cubic yards.
With this example, you can haul 0.625 cubic yards of sand in your truck and still qualify as a passenger vehicle. Please note that this calculation may vary depending on the specific features and capacity of your truck, as well as the weight limit for a passenger vehicle in your location.
