Can thermoform part have different wall thickness or its uniform throughout the part??
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

If you need variance in specific selected areas it might be problematic....

As Pud says, uniform wall is impossible, and controlled wall is very difficult. Read up on deep drawing of metal; thermoforming DOES NOT work like that, sliding metal over corners of the forming die. Every bit of depth in a thermoformed part comes from stretching the material without sliding. If you need a 'deep' draw, find another process.
