That's a lot of concrete to be messing with bags. Just have them deliver the concrete. Around here it was around $100/yd delivered last year.

Also, don't forget to make sure your soil is well compacted before pouring. Make sure to get rebar laid down too.

Oh... Thinkness wise ... I really don't know but around here, most garage floors are 4-6 inches thick. A friend of mine concreted this pole barn floor and he had them pour 6 inches. He's using it as a garage with a few lifts and what not... But where the lifts are mounted, I can't remember for sure, but he poured footers around 24inches thick for the lifts to mount to.
