  "account": "REPOWR, an on-demand trailer marketplace, has teamed up with American Truck Business Services (ATBS), a tax and consulting firm, to offer owner-operators discounted access to trailers through its Universal Trailer Network. This collaboration aims to provide owner-operators with flexibility to secure trailer equipment without committing to long-term leases or purchasing trailers. ATBS clients will now be able to sign up for REPOWR at no cost and receive discounted rates. REPOWR CEO Chris Hines emphasized the importance of trailer access for owner-operators, stating that it shouldn't hinder drivers from taking on new loads. ATBS has been serving over 150,000 independent truckers since 1998, offering services to help them manage costs and operate their businesses more efficiently. The partnership allows owner-operators to access trailers on-demand when needed, without the overhead costs of owning or leasing equipment long term.",
