If you have a cherry picker for motors or you plan on storing something very heavy then 5 or 6 floor will hold up better.
Labor cost for concrete slab.
If you are just storing toys lawnmowers and cars in the pole barn then 4 of concrete will more than suffice.
If the walls are open or you have sliding or overhead doors you can use a 2 4 as a form.
Concrete slabs are poured either off or on the job site.
If a thicker floor is desired excavate below skirt board bottom by any slab thickness greater than 4.
This can prevent damage caused by a pre mix concrete truck.

Since there are no foundation walls in a pole building a floating slab can be poured inside the poles using the skirt board for forms.
The concrete is considered to float because it is totally independent of the building.
I recommend a standard 4 floor for most residential pole buildings.
It is best to have the shell of your pole barn completed before you pour a concrete slab.
If your pole barn has solid walls they will serve as forms for pouring the slab.
The cost of labor to pour concrete is 45 per hour.
