Our Founder and President:
Bridgette Schossow Reinsmith
Bridgette is a counselor by training. When her husband, Aaron Reinsmith, joined the industry as a driver in 2017, she joined a couple of Facebook groups for wives and girlfriends of truckers. She saw trends among the wives. She saw trends among the drivers. Yet there didn’t seem to be groups that provided the type of assistance that was needed. Since then, she has learned of a few charities and organizations that are around, yet nothing that is as comprehensive and provides the assistance that Teddy’s will be providing. Bridgette began formulating the idea of Teddy’s in 2017, bounced the idea off a gentleman by the name of Steven Neil who was extremely helpful. It has been a long process that has been through cancer, deaths and moves cross country. Bridgette’s training and experience as a counselor allows her to have a glimpse into how the trucking industry can benefit from a sense of community. In addition, having lived on the road with her husband, she has experienced the industry first hand
