Brasfield is the first winner of Centerline Drivers’ Drive
It Forward scholarship for women in transportation.
Raeshaun Brasfield is from
Tuscaloosa, Alabama and the mother
of 2 boys. She has worked in healthcare for the past decade and as
a traveling CNA for the past two years. After the hardships in
healthcare due to the pandemic, she was looking to make a change to
the trucking industry. Raeshaun loves driving and wants to provide
an example for her sons by becoming a truck driver. One day, she
hopes to open a family trucking business with them.
The Drive It Forward scholarship is in honor of Sheila Castaneda, a key member of the Centerline
Drivers' leadership team and a proponent of promoting opportunities
for women in trucking.
The scholarship provides financial assistance to one woman every
year who is entering a CDL program to pursue a career as a
commercial driver. The scholarship will be for the full
tuition amount up to $7,500.
"This scholarship is very close to my heart and I'm so proud of
Raeshaun Brasfield for being our

in the industry and I'm so honored that she is able to carry on
Sheila's legacy."
