ATBS is a US tax and accounting firm founded in 1998 that provides tax preparation, bookkeeping and business consulting to owner-operator truck drivers.
ATBS, or American Truck Business Services, is a tax and accounting firm that works exclusively with owner-operator truck drivers. Founded in 1998, the firm prepares taxes, keeps books and provides business consulting for independent contractors in the trucking industry. It describes itself as the largest firm of its kind in the United States, and it serves more than 20,000 independent contractor drivers a year. Its workforce numbers 140 employees spread across two offices.
The company's origins are in trucking itself. Its founders grew up in a family trucking business, Trans-Western Express, where they began working at the age of 12, and later converted a fleet of 350 drivers into owner-operators. The firm was started in a garage and has expanded since. Its stated purpose is to handle the business side of driving so that drivers can concentrate on the road.
ATBS offers its services under the RumbleStrip name, a set of packages intended to guide clients through the practical demands of running an independent trucking operation. The firm's work falls into four areas: tax preparation, bookkeeping, business consulting and financial services for truckers. All of its activity is in the United States, within the trucking, transportation and tax and accounting sectors.
