mora | i think you are making a mistake with using the black dirt for a base, especially if you are going to have heavy trucks on it. you might get away with it if it is only small vehicles. we built a house in 99 an 1/8 mile off of the gravel road. we built a road along the edge of the hayfield, actually some pretty good dirt for our area. the guy that dug my basement convinced me to cut about 10-12" deep and build it up with gravel. we put a 3" base, one trip, one trip with 2" over the top of that, and let the cement trucks and construction stuff mash the stuff in good. later come back with 1" road rock creek gravel. never had a problem with it. have semi's going out loaded on it all the time. i have seen county roads get soft in the winter time and my lane be fine. i think you will regret building a road on black dirt. we ended up using our black dirt around our house for the yard and stuff. if you dont want to do that, you can always sell it to help pay for the gravel.
