Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

6000' * 20' * 0.5' = 60000 ft^3
60000 ft^3 / 27 yd^3 = 2222.22 yd^3
2222.22 yd^3 * 3400 lbs/yd^3 = 7,555,556 lbs
7,555,556 lbs / 2000 = 3777.78 tons
Open question so answer is approximate. More information is needed.
Assuming loose wet gravel from S&G pit using standard weights of materials chart. Actual weight of gravel needs to be determined at S&G scales. No compaction is calculated.
If this is a road, use crushed base instead.
