Truck loads
With about 10 percent extra, this is 15.9 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.
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. Add culverts or ditches where water crosses the drive.
Getting it delivered
If you haul it yourself, a typical half-ton pickup should carry only about half a cubic yard of stone, well under what the bed looks like it can hold. Recycled concrete aggregate compacts well and is often cheaper than quarry stone; ask for a screened product. Round up by about 10 percent for compaction and uneven ground.
