Dump truck
Dumper
HTH
I can tell you that in the UK construction industry you're not likely to hear people use the word 'truck' at all, it would just be a 'dumper' whether front or rear tipping. The only exception is 25t rear tipping dumpers which tend to be referred to as 'Moxys' regardless of brand.
Ah, is that why he emigrated from Hawaii?
Our builders just called them artics when doing the driveway. It really is a whole new language they speak, gennies, wackers etc. A loader, regardless of brand is a JCB, even if it’s a tractor with a back hoe attachment. And then there’s stuff which I thought used to be forum joke speak/grammar such as referring to the wife as “the missus” and incorrectly constructed sentences which just seems to be how they speak.

We had a league at St Johns.
I don’t mind them what I really hate is the places that specialise towards trade. So B&Q or Wickes never sell good timber but there’s an independent lumber yard with sawmill which is about half the price and much better quality. The first time I asked for 2x4 in metric mm they just looked at me like I was a berk and labelled a Londoner But that’s how wood is listed in normal DIY places isn’t it. Still I’m much better these days.
