Driveway repair

I had a heavy truck on my driveway recently and it cracked/collapsed a part of my driveway. Is there any kind of temporary fix I can make until I get it repaired the right way by a professional?

How temporary? You can remove the broken pieces and form up to pour in replacement concrete. Tie the old and new together with rebar. It’s plenty of work, but fairly cheap and will be durable.

I had a similar issue and paid some guys to bust out the entire two sections and repour. It was about $1500 and I just watched from my kitchen window which was nice

I would just live with what you have until you can get a proper repair done.
Try and scare up someone over the winter when we are in a cooler and dryer weather pattern.

Just bought home or new?
That's enough for an inspector like me to write it up during an inspection. That collapse is a safety risk hazard.
Letter to follow. Time period to get the work done or a notice that says, anyone getting hurt or injured by that will not be covered by your policy.

They can come out with a concrete saw and cut out those broken sections and square that area off for a much neater patch than just removing the broken stuff.

Pretty straight forward on the repair. Rent a concrete saw and square that shat up. Make your form, drill holes in existing driveway, put in your rebar, pour your concrete.
