Truck loads
Plan for about 15.9 tons with waste. On a 15-ton truck that is about 2 trips; spreading while dumping (a tailgate spread) puts the stone close to where it belongs.
Layers for a lasting driveway
If this is a new driveway on soil, build a base of 4 to 6 inches of coarse stone first and finish with a packable surface stone. For a refresh, 2 inches over the old surface is common. Fabric under the base helps on clay or wet ground.
Ordering and delivery
Small dump trucks commonly carry around 5 to 10 tons and tri-axles more, but loads vary by truck and state, so ask the yard what fits in one trip. Asphalt millings bind into a fairly firm surface when compacted and warmed by the sun. The scale ticket is the real weight; tons per yard here is a planning figure.
