Can a half ton haul this much?

I went to a local place to get some river rock, asked for a yard of rock. Their front end loader put some rock in the bed of my '88 F-350 and it seemed to sit awfully low once the rock was in. I was figuring a yard of rock would've been 3,000 lbs or so. I weighed in and the loader put in 5500 lbs of rock! If I'd known he was going to put in that much, I would've brought my trailer.
