How many loads
Plan for about 171.1 tons with waste. On a 15-ton truck that is about 12 trips; spreading while dumping (a tailgate spread) puts the stone close to where it belongs.
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. Gravel is a broad label, so confirm whether the yard means crushed or rounded stone and whether it carries fines. Round up by about 10 percent for compaction and uneven ground.
