We’re proud to announce we’ve earned national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise.

“We are excited to earn this certification” says Judi Girard Stefflre, Founder of RDS Logistics Group.

“I started this business 40 years ago with the goal of pushing boundaries and implementing technology to support our business growth.  We have grown to a multi-mode transportation business and have long term relationships with our clients due to our commitment and business transparency in support of our customers.”

RDS also announced the promotion of Debbie Thomas to CEO of the asset-based service offerings at RDS. Debbie joined the company in November 2020 to lead the growth efforts of our cross dock operations and will now oversee all trucking, cross docking, and yard management operations.  “We are blessed to add Debbie to our executive team last year – and now I am excited to watch her grow in her role as CEO”, stated Ms. Girard Stefflre.

Greg Sanders, who founded RDS Logistics in 2019 (RDS’s freight brokerage service offering), will serve as Chairman and CEO of the fast-growing brokerage business based in Brea, CA.  “We are fortunate to build our brokerage business off the tremendous brand equity Greg and Judi Stefflre created and nurtured over the past 40 years in Southern California”, stated Sanders.  “I am excited to work with Debbie to provide blended solutions to our blue-chip customer base”.

The WBENC standard of certification is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women.
