Truck loads
With about 10 percent extra, this is 75.8 tons, roughly 6 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
A new driveway usually starts with a larger base stone on compacted subgrade, then a top layer that packs. Topping up an existing drive takes much less, often 2 inches. 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. Round up by about 10 percent for compaction and uneven ground.
