How many loads
Plan for about 42.4 tons with waste. On a 15-ton truck that is about 3 trips; spreading while dumping (a tailgate spread) puts the stone close to where it belongs.
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.
Ordering and delivery
Most quarries and landscape yards deliver by the ton; ask whether there is a minimum and a delivery fee, and where the driver can dump without damaging your lawn. Recycled concrete aggregate compacts well and is often cheaper than quarry stone; ask for a screened product. The scale ticket is the real weight; tons per yard here is a planning figure.
