What has summoned the White Bear from his lengthy nap?
Mrs. ND should talk more highly of such a classic piece of machinery...
Do not feed the bear!

I'd need a little more info than 156' but... I'll assume around 2000 square feet of area. I doubt a contractor will touch it for under $6 a foot. Of course that all depends on location, how much ground prep is needed, and the market. Feed me more info. I like story problems.

More info....156 long and 12" wide and then gets wider by the hose to accomodate the 3 car garage. I would guess closer to 3,000 sq ft. Minimal site prep...maybe an hour with a skidloader. I would guess 1 load of fill at max. Nothing else fancy, just concrete.
So, 40 cu yards of concrete is $4500. If $6 per sq foot, that is $13,500 in labor? at $50 per hour, that is 270 hours? something aint adding up here. what am i missing?

My driveway is 156 feet long. Tzone, $10+ per square foot would put it at over $30,000. I think you are off a little on the sq footage cost. I was quoted for a pad next to my garage and it was $8/sqft. It must have been because it was a small quantity. I am hoping for somewhere in that $6/7K range. I hope it starts with a 6 anyway You won't get it done for 6-7K but it'll prolly have a 6 in it. For serious...if you get it done for that price, get me that company's contact info, because I do have some work here.

More info....156 long and 12" No wonder it was so cheap! So, 40 cu yards of concrete is $4500. If $6 per sq foot, that is $13,500 in labor? at $50 per hour, that is 270 hours? something aint adding up here. what am i missing? The part you're missing is it will be more than $6 sq.ft. OK, I'll stop messing with you now. Concrete isn't cheap and I'm serious if you can get if for that price, I'm pretty sure I could keep him busy or at least get him some bids.

Tzone, the SIL took the granddaughter out turkey hunting friday after school. They saw 2 birds, but they wouldn't come in. Didn't go out today.
