I am needing to put a driveway in so I can get ready to build my house. I will need about 600 feet through already open pasture. How much yall reckon that would set me back

I had some good material brought in for part of my drive on the Woden Rd. outside Nac from Dan the dirt man out of Nacogdoches. I can't remember how many yards were in the truckload he delivered but it was like $550 for the load. If you want to come out and see what it looks like let me know. I spread it with my tractor and it packed real good just running my truck over it. -
600 feet is going to be 5 loads. Kris call me. You know I'm in the rock, sand, and gravel business. There's lots of options we can do for your driveway
Material prices in east Texas have gone up 3 times in the last 12 months.
You don't buy base or rock in a tractor trailer by the yard. Always by the ton so you know how many tons you get. You need a scale ticket. Just keeps everyone honest. Almost all belly dumps are 22 yards. Which should be around 25-26 tons depending on what the truck weights. You can do 120 feet long 10 feet wide by 6 inches compacted. With one load most of the time. For quick mathComment

6 loads should do it. Limestone is about $550 for a 14 yard load but due to weight you only get about 13 yards. I believe they sell it by the ton not the yard. I did about 400 ft and it took 4 loads. And it was plenty. If you can get a belly dump you get more for your money.Comment
