Truck bed hopper (1) of mining dump truck that is capable of elastically deform itself when it is subject to loading(s) or unloading(s) of material, built preferably of structural or of wear and tear steel wherein the general structure of the bed hopper is curved. In this manner, the great moments of inertia which are achieved with curved surfaces eliminate or allow obviating to a great extent the use of beams as main resistive elements. The present bed hopper (1) includes that the protective blinder (2) be preferably cylindrical, whereas the frontal wall (5) and floor (6) are preferably elliptical. The bottom of the bed hopper (1) externally comprises a plurality of transversal beams (7), preferably 4 to 6, even more preferably 5, which main function is to keep the bottom surface curved and transfer the strengths of the envelopment to the truck's body. Further, externally the bottom also comprises a plurality of support elements (8), preferably two, that are located at the front part, i.e., ahead of the rotation axis of the hopper. Said support elements only permit the support of the bed hopper on the truck's body and may be eliminated if the truck's body adapts itself to directly take in the transversal beams.
