Default concrete driveway.

I'm thinking of having at least part of our gravel driveway concreted.
My question is, what should I ask for?

I'm wanting to do this because the driveway has a small slope down
from the road then back up toward the house, with a slope down to the
driveway on one side. The gravel keeps puddling, and after our record
rains this has become a real problem. The biggest thing that sits on
the driveway is a diesel pickup weighing in at around 7,000 pounds.

How thick a slab should we get, how much reinforcing, etc. The area I
want to do is about two cars (maybe 15 feet wide, and probably 30-40
feet long.

Any info appreciated.
