I have built several gravel drives over the years that were built to handle everything up to and including loaded semi trucks. Current practice (instead of layers of increasingly larger rock from top to bottom) is to use only CA-6 (or roadpack). The name may vary, but the spec should tell your pit what you want. This is a fairly small rock with a specified % of fines. Spread and pack it while it is damp. Drives made this way hold up much better in the spring because everything tends to hold together. If you still want to use layers of rock, put a geotextile fabric or plastic netting down first. This will help prevent the first layer from sinking.
