How many loads
With about 10 percent extra, this is 18.9 tons, roughly 2 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.
Getting it delivered
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.
