About Us
Our History
In 1968, TBS began serving independent truckers through Truckers Bookkeeping Service, a compliance company providing permitting and fuel tax reporting services. In 1998, we started providing truck insurance through KCK Insurance Agency, L.L.C. dba TBS Insurance Agency. In 2004, we formed a factoring company, TBS Factoring Service, LLC, to provide simple and flexible cash flow solutions with freight bill factoring.
