THE DRIVEWAY STANDARD
1 1/2" crusher run, the rock most Tulsa driveways are made of: $385 a load, delivered. It packs down hard and one load covers a typical residential drive.
HOW MUCH DOES A DUMP TRUCK
LOAD OF GRAVEL COST? REAL TULSA NUMBERS.
A full load of driveway gravel runs $385 delivered in Tulsa County, all-in. Most sites make you call to find that out. Here is the whole answer: what a load is, what is in the price, and what moves it.
01
THE SHORT ANSWER
One truckload is about 14 to 16 tons of rock, roughly 10 cubic yards, and covers about 700 to 900 square feet at four inches deep. What it costs depends on which rock rides in it.
THE BUDGET END
Waste rock for mud holes, farm roads, and fill where looks do not matter: $335 a load, delivered. The cheapest rock we haul.
THE SPEC END
Washed, graded stone for drainage and spec work, like Class A clean gravel: $705 a load, delivered. Clean rock costs more than rock with fines, everywhere.
02
WHAT MOVES THE PRICE
Three levers, no mystery.
THE ROCK
Crushed rock with fines that packs into a surface costs less than washed stone with none. That spread is the whole $335-to-$705 range on the gravel page.
THE COUNTY LINE
Every price here is for Tulsa County. Outside it, the same load runs $50 more: the driveway gravel load becomes $435 delivered.
THE SCALE TICKET
Loads are quoted at 14 to 16 tons and the final number comes off the scale ticket, so you pay for weighed rock, not a guess. Multi-load job or repeat work? Ask about discounts.

PER TON VS PER LOAD
The comparison trap that costs people money.
QUARRY PER-TON PRICES
The low per-ton numbers you see online are pickup-at-the-pit prices. They assume you have a dump truck, and getting 14 tons across town is the expensive part of the job.
OUR NUMBERS ARE ALL-IN
On a full 14-ton load, $385 delivered works out to about $27.50 a ton with the rock and the haul included. That is the number to compare, and we publish it for every material.

PRICE QUESTIONS, STRAIGHT ANSWERS
How much is a dump truck load of gravel?
In Tulsa County, a full dump truck load of 1 1/2 inch crusher run driveway gravel runs $385 delivered, all-in. Across the rocks we haul, a load runs from $335 for waste rock to $705 for Class A clean gravel. Deliveries outside Tulsa County run $50 more per load. Prices are estimates plus sales tax, confirmed on your quote.
How many tons of gravel are in a dump truck load?
Our trucks haul 14 to 16 tons per load depending on the material, which works out to roughly 10 cubic yards of rock. Final tonnage is by scale ticket, so you pay for what was actually weighed, not a guess.
What does gravel cost per ton delivered?
On a full 14-ton load, our $385 delivered price for driveway gravel works out to about $27.50 a ton with the rock and the haul included. Be careful comparing that to quarry per-ton prices: those are pickup-at-the-pit numbers, and getting 14 tons home is the expensive part. The delivered per-load price is the honest comparison.
How much does it cost to gravel a driveway?
One truckload is roughly 14 to 16 tons and covers about 700 to 900 square feet at four inches deep. A typical 12 by 60 foot residential driveway is around 720 square feet, so one $385 load of 1 1/2 inch crusher run usually covers it. Asphalt millings at $450 a load are the other favorite and pack down even harder.
Why do gravel prices vary so much per load?
Three things: the rock, the distance, and the count. Common crushed rock with fines costs less than washed spec stone, which is why a load runs anywhere from $335 to $705. Deliveries outside Tulsa County run $50 more per load. And on multi-load jobs, ask about discounts.
Does the delivered price include everything?
The price is all-in for the material and the delivery, dumped in a pile where you point us; sales tax is added on the quote. Spreading is not included, that is a different trade. Outside Tulsa County the same driveway gravel load runs $435 instead of $385.
