So, if you go to any of the local rock mines; and get "limerock road base" without a approval number, that is blasted or pit dug rock, crushed and piled. It does Not have a max other then the screen on the crusher, and has what fines come out. The approved material does have a max size, and an allowable percentage passing each sieve, and an % passing the #200 (dust). Literal, that's what you order, limerock road base; not ABC123, "limerock road base". If it's got a DOT approved pit material number, it is tested at regular intervels; but if it does not; it is on the end client to do any testing want. This is not a manufactured product, it's straight out of a pit in the ground. The material changes over time, that's why the continued testing is required to stay approved. Commercial construction projects, they have an independent testing lab sample for proctor, LBR, and all; but I Highly doubt anyone is taking LBRs, or density tests on a residential driveway.
Rainy weeks, the material will have high moisture content, dry spells, if it's been in a pile, it's gonna need a water truck.
Think of it like buying clean fill; the contractor or owners QC is going to have to sample at regular "lots" but you not going to say "send me a load of 0.5mm to 2mm sand, with 12% silt";
