Let’s Give the Disabled the Opportunities They Deserve
We all deserve opportunities at employment that sustain us and bring us joy. This is just one of the many reasons that our owner, Larry Zogby, has been a passionate supporter of meaningful job opportunities for disabled people.
Although opportunities to employ people with disabilities is a yearlong effort at RDS, Larry always makes it a point to double down on his efforts this time of year because October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM).
Recently, Larry invited officials from Acces-VR (Adult Career and Continuing Education Services-Vocational Rehabilitation) NYC and The Long Island City Partnership to RDS for a lunch and learn. He wanted to get answers to questions such as:
- How can we create more job opportunities for disabled people at RDS?
- How can RDS help connect Acces-VR to other for-profit companies in the area?
- What does Acces-VR need from the local business community to achieve greater job placement success?
“It was a very productive afternoon,” Zogby said. “I learned how I can connect Acces-VR to my community in ways that will make an impact. I learned how to assist them and how to continue to help make a difference.”
How about you? Are you a local business owner with job opportunities for disabled members of our community? Reach out to Acces-VR today!
The team at RDS also plans to participate in the celebration of the Acces-VR NYC NDEAM 2022 Employer Awards! The event is set for 10 a.m. Oct. 25 and is virtual. If you would like to join us, you can register here!

We Love Getting ‘LinkedIn’ & Collaborating With Others
At RDS, we love the relationships we’ve built through LinkedIn. Recently, we were able to help our friends at Gateway Optimum Transportation/Gateway Crate and Freight in Arizona deliver a valuable electronic microscope from The Grand Canyon State to New York City for a biomedical firm.
Gateway had picked up, packed, crated and shipped the microscope to NYC but needed RDS’ help delivering it to an inside location on Fifth Avenue.
Gateway owner Steven Tittle explained it this way: “Although Gateway has delivered with our own assets to many locations in downtown New York, at this time an inside delivery by a partner (was) a better fit for our customer. I turned to Larry Zogby of RDS Same Day Delivery, whose crews know the challenges of delivering lift gate, inside delivery of freight and packages in downtown New York.”
The team at RDS was more than happy to help. We received the item, warehoused it, scheduled the appointment and delivered this precious cargo seamlessly and successfully.
from LinkedIn and elsewhere. If you need our unique skills and experience making deliveries in the NYC area, we encourage you to reach out!

Did Someone Say Birthday Cake?
Some companies are all talk and no action when it comes to creating a family culture at work. At RDS, we talk the talk and walk the walk. For example, we make it a point to take a break in the middle of even the most hectic work day to come together as a team and celebrate our employees’ birthdays and other milestones. We truly care about each other and this is one of the ways we show it.
