Services

ATBS is the largest, most experienced and respected provider of business services dedicated to owner-operators.  We offer three core services to help you save time and increase your business profitability.

ATBS Standard Business Services
Understanding the fact that most owner-operators are overburdened with paperwork and government regulation, ATBS works to simplify the accounting and tax filing process and provide you tools that can lead to greater business success.

ATBS Standard Business Services provides:

• Personalized Budget – a detailed breakdown of your costs, break-even point, and profitability.
• Bookkeeping – sorting, categorizing, recording and summarizing your receipts and settlement statements.
• Monthly Income Statements – a summary of how your business is doing and where you can improve.
• Industry Benchmarking – comparisons of your business results to other owner-operators to show where you are excelling or where you have opportunities to improve.
• State, Federal & Quarterly Tax Preparation – prepared by CPAs with trucking industry expertise.
• Unlimited Business Consulting – customized solutions that maximize your business performance, help you achieve your goals, manage your tax requirements and generate higher profits.

UTSI has negotiated a discounted price on your behalf of only $75 per month for ATBS Standard Business Services.

• Call 866-431-0370 to learn more about how this service can benefit you.

ATBS Maintenance Management Services
ATBS offers Maintenance Management Services, or MMS, a program that helps drivers manage their preventative maintenance through customized forms, periodic fluid analysis, maintenance planning and budgeting, warranty tracking and unlimited maintenance consulting.

Through ATBS Maintenance Management Services you can:

• Save up to $1,300 a year in maintenance costs
• Save $3,000 a year through increased fuel efficiency
• Avoid the costs of breakdowns, tows and unplanned repairs

The cost for MMS is $45 a month with a $150 set-up fee that covers fluid kits, the initial assessment of your truck and the first month of service.  The fee is only $35 per month if you are participating in ATBS Standard Business Services. Call 866-431-0370 to learn how MMS can benefit you.

CABS – Course of Advanced Business Standards
CABS is a comprehensive education program developed to help owner-operators become not only successful truck drivers but also successful business professionals.  At ATBS, working with thousands of truck drivers, we have recognized the areas that cause the most problems for owner-operators.  The CABS program addresses each of these problem areas in a series of lessons created to present the information in a comprehensive and easy-to-learn format.

CABS, the Course of Advanced Business Standards offers:

• Six-month self-study course that can be done in your truck
• Twelve lessons in both print and CD formats
• Exercises, activities and a case scenario to help you learn and apply the information
• A CABS Instructor to answer questions and help you with the program material

Because UTSI believes in the importance of education they are offering CABS to their drivers at a specially negotiated rate of only $350.  That’s a savings of 30% over the list price.

To learn more about any of these programs visit www.ATBSshow.com or call 866-431-0370.  Or, watch the ATBS video to hear customer testimonials about each of the above products.
