Calculate the load time.

sand qty to be dumped

Load time =
truck loading rate

Substitute 12 cy for sand quantity to be dumped and 95 cy/hr for truck loading rate.
12
Load time =
95
= 0.126 hr

Therefore, the load time is 0.126 hr .

Calculate the haul time.

distance transported
Haul time =
haul speed

Substitute 7 miles for distance transported and 30 mph for haul speed.
7
Haul time =
30
= 0.233 hr

Therefore, the haul time is 0.233 hr.

Calculate the dump time.

t
Dump time =
60
Here, t is the dump time in minutes.

Substitute 3 min for t.

3
Dump time =
60
= 0.050 hr

Therefore, the dump time is 0.050 hr .

Calculate the return time.

distance transported
Return time =
return speed

Substitute 7 miles for distance transported and 40 mph for return speed.
7
Return time =
40
= 0.175 hr

Therefore, the return time is 0.175 hr .

Calculate the total cycle time for one trip.

T.C = Load time + haul time + dump time + return time
Here, the total cycle time for one trip is T.C.

Substitute 0.126 hr for Load time, 0.233 hr for haul time, 0.050 hr for dump time and
0.175 hr for return time.
T.C = 0.126 + 0.233+ 0.050 + 0.175
= 0.584 hr/trip

Therefore, the total cycle time for one trip is 0.584 hr/trip .

Calculate the number of trucks required.

Trucks reqd = T.C / Load time
Here, the total cycle time for one trip is T.C.

Substitute 0.584 hr/trip for T.C and 0.126 hr for Load time.
Trucks reqd = 1250 / 136
= 9.19 trucks
 9 trucks Therefore, the number of trucks required is 9.
