How many loads
With about 10 percent extra, this is 37.9 tons, roughly 3 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. Fabric under the base helps on clay or wet ground.
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. Crusher run mixes stone and stone dust, so it packs nearly solid when compacted in layers. Ask your supplier for their own tons-per-yard number, since stone source and moisture change it.
