This is just to get me started with construction on my house. I will finish with 57 once house is complete

Was leaning 610 but thinking maybe using #4 limestone. The #4 is the size of railroad rocks. Seems like that would be better for the heavier material/concrete trucks to drive on but the 610 may provide a better base long term.

Any suggestions?

Put down a layer of Geotextile fabric over compacted fill, then top it with 4” of Mexican limestone.

I agree 100%. I didn't and when the concrete trucks came in, they packed all the limestone way down into the dirt. Was a waste of a shite load of stone.
