RDS was founded in 1981 by Greg and Judy Stefflre with six trucks and a four-door cross-dock facility in Alhambra, California.
Today, RDS operates its asset-based operations in Fontana, California, with a state-of-the-art, 10-acre, 90-door crossdock facility.
In 2019, RDS founded its non-asset division in Brea, California, and is now one of the nation’s leading freight brokerages.

Within Key Industries
Consumer Goods
Whether drayage of the arriving container from the port to a transload or distribution facility or omnichannel distribution to your own branded stores or retailers carrying your goods, trust RDS to move it where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.
Food & Beverage
Whether dry, chilled or frozen, RDS matches the equipment and service with the cargo we're moving. Whether a shelf-stable load of canned goods, beverages or snacks requiring simple location data to chilled or frozen products requiring temperature and atmospheric monitoring, RDS aligns carriers and equipment to match the cargo.
Manufacturing
Finished products start with a bill of materials that are in the right place at the right time. RDS has worked with manufacturers and whether a shipment is inventory that won't be drawn for weeks or JIT components needed in hours, our experienced logistics coordinators and carriers know the importance of being on time.
Home/Construction
When it comes to the types of loads carrying goods for residential and commercial building projects, RDS has learned it's not all dry van cargo. RDS knows how to match the product being shipped with the necessary equipment, whether side-curtain, flatbed, drop deck or overdimensional.
Expedited
There's urgent, and then there's expedited urgent - and RDS knows what to do when it's the latter. For this most important of cargo, we have not just 24/7 monitoring by our employees, but a select network of team drivers who work to ensure your deadline is our deadline and not a moment later.
