When exploring whether dump trucks are suitable as transport vehicles for long-distance transportation, we first need to clarify the design intention, functional characteristics and applicability of dump trucks in different transportation scenarios.
Dump truck, as the name suggests, is a special vehicle with automatic unloading function. Its main design purpose is to improve efficiency in short-distance, high-frequency, high-volume cargo loading and unloading operations, especially in scenarios that need to unload cargo quickly, such as construction sites, mines, ports, etc. Through its unique cabin structure and hydraulic system, the dump truck can achieve fast and automatic unloading of goods, thus saving labor and time costs.

However, when we consider the use of dump trucks for long-distance transportation, we need to consider a number of factors. First of all, from an economic point of view, although the loading and unloading efficiency of the dump truck is high, its cabin structure and power system may not be optimized for long-distance driving. Long-distance driving has higher requirements for fuel economy, comfort and durability of the vehicle, and the dump truck may not have advantages in these aspects.
Secondly, from the point of view of safety, long-distance driving requires vehicles to have good stability and reliability. Due to the particularity of the structure of the dump truck, there may be safety risks in high-speed driving or complex road conditions. In addition, long-distance driving also needs to consider the rest of the driver and the maintenance of the vehicle, which are factors that may not be fully considered when the dump truck is designed.
Finally, from the point of view of applicability, long distance transport usually involves a variety of road and climatic conditions, requiring a wide range of vehicle adaptability. The dump truck is mainly suitable for short-distance and specific scene transportation tasks, and may not be fully adapted to the long-distance and changeable transportation environment.
In summary, although dump trucks have significant advantages in short-distance, high-frequency, high-volume cargo handling operations, using them for long-distance transportation may not be the best choice. Long-distance transportation needs to consider many factors such as economy, safety and applicability, and dump trucks may not have advantages in these aspects. Therefore, when choosing a transport vehicle, the appropriate model should be selected according to the specific transport needs and scenarios.
