Here at Central we pride ourselves in the fact that we continue to be leaders with Owner Operators and leasing programs in the transportation industry.

We continue to analyze the way we lease our equipment and grow our fleet. A major piece to the puzzle of owner operators is business training and real life application of that training. In doing this we figure that taxes and business management are one of the leading reasons for great success and also failure of running a small business. Unfortunately not everyone has the knowledge and training to run a business such as this.

ATBS is a tax and business consulting firm based out of Denver, Colorado. Central has contracted with ATBS to aid in the training and also the business management for our Owner Operators. We have an on-site representative for ATBS in our Salt Lake City, UT terminal. ATBS provides multiple services to help you in all your business management needs. At $16.00 per week deducted directly from your settlement you can’t go wrong.


Available services include:

Personalized Budget
We’ll develop a personalized financial roadmap that delivers a detailed breakdown of your fixed costs, variable costs, your breakeven point, and most importantly, profitability.

Bookkeeping
It doesn’t get much easier than this. Every month, you’ll simply place all of your unsorted receipts and settlement statements in one ATBS provided preaddressed envelope and mail it to ATBS. That’s all you have to do. We’ll sort, categorize, record and summarize the receipts and settlement statements for you.

Monthly Income Statements
We will provide you with monthly profit and loss statements that can be compared to your personal budget, making it easy for you to see exactly where you can improve your performance and profitability.

Industry Comparisons
Every month, ATBS will compare your monthly income statement to industry averages for that month. This insight into how other owner-operators are performing is invaluable. We will highlight specific areas where you are excelling or where you have opportunities to improve.

State and Federal Tax Preparation
If you were a company driver, the company would report and deduct your taxes for you every pay period. As an owner operator, you’re responsible for reporting and paying your own taxes. ATBS will prepare your quarterly estimated taxes, as well as your year-end state and federal tax returns.

Unlimited Business Consulting
As an ATBS member, you’ll receive free unlimited business consulting with truck industry experts. We’ll provide customized solutions that maximize your business performance, help you achieve your retirement goals, manage your tax requirements and generate higher profits.
