Intermodal Drayage & Advanced Logistics Technology
RDS is a trailblazer in rail drayage and advanced logistics management software, delivering award-winning domestic drayage across Southern California. We operate 24/7, servicing all major intermodal facilities, including UP, BNSF, and the Southern California ports.
At RDS, intermodal drayage is our bread and butter. We’ve offered the service from the very beginning when our fleet had six drivers and we had just launched our proprietary Management Information System (MIS).
Today we have over 100 motor carriers supplemented by employee drivers helping to move our business forward. We are AB5 compliant and operate 24/7 and on-demand, servicing our customers at all major railroads and other surrounding states with award-winning domestic drayage.
We’ve always understood customers’ needs for real-time information on shipments. It’s what inspired us to develop our original dispatch software in the 1980s that we’ve evolved into a next-generation dispatch platform to meet and exceed the needs of our customers for instant data updates and paperwork, and to fully maximize the productivity of our drivers.
RDS remains dedicated to working exhaustively in the intermodal industry to improve processes, encourage best practices and generally increase the maturity and professionalism of intermodal trucking.
Our Value Proposition
Reduced Transportation Costs
Starting in the 1990’s we were tasked to assist Toyota Motor Sales with opening their North American Auto Parts Center by providing both domestic intermodal and yard spotter services. In the ensuing years we have consistently expanded this yard management function to meet Toyota’s exceptional growth. With well paid, highly trained and reliable drivers we have consistently met Toyota’s performance and safety expectations.
This year marks the renewal of our partnership and our joint commitment to the environment with the replacement of all diesel yard tractors with fully electric zero-emissions units from Orange EV.
Servicing UP, BNSF, and the Southern California Ports
RDS sits at the intersection of Interstate 15 and Interstate 10 in Southern California’s Inland Empire, the western hub for all things logistics. We service customer facilities, all major railroads, and the Southern California ports to maximize our expansive network of supply chains.
State-of-the-art Tech Stack and Dispatch Software
No matter the time of day or where you are, customers have full visibility into shipment delivery status, required documents and critical updates thanks to RDS’s management and dispatch software. Our drivers are fully equipped to send, receive and produce documents via tablet technology.
