Truck loads
Plan for about 50.5 tons with waste. On a 15-ton truck that is about 4 trips; spreading while dumping (a tailgate spread) puts the stone close to where it belongs.
Base and top layer
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.
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. 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.
