I usually fill in front of the garage with gravel where they dug for the foundation. I never put fill dirt back in a driveway under concrete no matter how good it gets packed. I only fill with gravel and compact it or drive on it till the very end of the construction process. That said, the last house I did, the gravel was packed as hard as any gravel road. The crew I hired to pour the concrete came in with their skid steer and tour it all up so they could level it easier. They put it back in and ran the packer over it twice and poured. I let them know what I thought of it but not much else I could do. Some concrete guys say your better to have a soft layer right under the concrete but I always tried to get it compacted as hard as I could. Whatever you do, put a cut line about 5 ft. out from the front of the door so that it will crack there as that is where they usually crack first. 34 plus years of trying to figure it out.
