Truck loads
With about 10 percent extra, this is 171.1 tons, roughly 12 loads if the yard runs 15-ton trucks. Ask the driver to tailgate-spread it along the drive to save hours of raking.
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. Long drives benefit from a crown so water runs to the edges.
Buying the stone
If you haul it yourself, a typical half-ton pickup should carry only about half a cubic yard of stone, well under what the bed looks like it can hold. Crushed stone has angular faces that lock together under a compactor, which is why it holds a pad shape. Round up by about 10 percent for compaction and uneven ground.
