At Gordon Food Service, the notion of service is at our very core. We believe that veterans find a meaningful career home within our servant-leadership-focused culture.

Rachael’s hard work and advocacy are being recognized nationwide. In March she was named by Women in Trucking as one of “2023 Top Women to Watch in Transportation.” The honor is given to women who are making great strides in their careers while positively impacting their companies and helping to promote greater gender diversity in the industry. “I want to help women make connections throughout the company.
