RDS Logistics Group has been recognized by Transportation Review Magazine as the exclusive recipient of “Intermodal Drayage Service,” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry. This profile has been developed by the Transportation Review research and editorial team based on insights from an interview with Debbie Thomas, CEO.
Debbie Thomas, CEOhttps://rdsrally.com/ is a leading woman-owned logistics solutions provider, founded in 1981 by Judi Girard Stefflre. RDS began as Rail Delivery Services in 1981 as an intermodal drayage company, a foundation upon which it has built its current market presence. Today, the company’s service portfolio encompasses Intermodal Drayage (except port drayage), Cross-docking, Dedicated Trucking, Regional Trucking, and Yard Management, delivered through a robust network comprising over a hundred motor carriers and own employee drivers.
Its yard management services oversee vehicle operations and maintenance for prominent organizations. Interestingly, one of its partnerships has endured for over 25 years, marked by the company’s proactive transition to electric vehicles to align with California’s stringent environmental regulations. Operating with a dual model mode with motor carriers and employee drivers, it also complies with AB5 regulations in California.
RDS Logistics Group’s headquarters in Fontana has nearly 100,000 square feet of transload facilities, facilitating seamless cross-dock and transload operations for multiple clients. Simultaneously, the company’s regional transportation services extend across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.
“We are WBENC-certified. Our foundation is built on accommodating projects flexibly and fulfilling the needs of our customers,” says Debbie Thomas, CEO of RDS Logistics Group. “While the breadth of our offerings is vast, we are committed to exceptional service and client satisfaction.”
Adaptability and customer centricity are at the core of RDS Logistics Group’s approach. This has been possible due to its ability to deliver freight using its own assets, including a fleet of tractor-trailers manned by employee drivers and a network of trusted motor carriers. It is also equipped to seamlessly integrate with various logistics platforms through proprietary software.
The biggest differentiator for RDS Logistics Group is its identity as a family-owned business. This familial bond extends not only to its employees but also to the longstanding relationships with carriers. Many of the team members, including drivers, have been with the company for decades. It prioritizes continuous training and instills in the team the ethos of customer support and business advancement.
Upping its ante, RDS Logistics Group has set the foundation of its brokerage arm, RDS Capacity Solutions. The presence of both asset-based and brokerage divisions, each dedicated to delivering exceptional transportation solutions, broadens the group’s reach and market share.
RDS Logistics Group creates a straightforward path to accelerate businesses and collaborate with partners, customers, and communities to deliver the truth, transparency, and reliability expected from a logistics partner. It will continue to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes based on the pillars of active listening, proposal formulation, and collaborative problem-solving.
