Advantage Trailer President Jodi Behrendt Appears on Finding Reverie Podcast

CAROL STREAM, Ill., Dec. 10, 2025 — Jodi Behrendt, president and owner of Advantage Trailer, was the featured guest on a recent episode of the Finding Reverie podcast.

Behrendt and her sister, Sarah Groveau, are second-generation owners of this family-operated business located in Carol Stream, IL, near Chicago. Founded in 1989, Advantage Trailer focuses on the sale of pull-behind trailers, custom trailer manufacturing and sales, premium service and maintenance, and trailer parts and accessories.

Additionally, Behrendt serves on the Women in the Trailer Industry committee for the North American Trailer Dealer’s Association (NATDA). This group is dedicated to fostering strong female leadership via mentorship, teamwork, and community support, while also addressing work/life balance.

The Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur’s Journey podcast provides an inside look at the experiences of small and medium business owners as they share the authentic triumphs and trials of building a company. Each narrative offers valuable takeaways, from overcoming obstacles to learning pivotal lessons.

Excerpts from the podcast notes include:

“Advantage Trailer started 36 years ago when the founder assembled his family to pose a significant question: What kind of business should we create as a team? Now, his two daughters, representing the second generation, continue that legacy with pride.

“Today, a team of four makes key decisions, deliberately using the company’s core values as a guide for expansion, innovation, and future direction. A meaningful symbol hangs in their office: their father’s boat steering wheel. While the surroundings may be updated, the steering wheel serves as an anchor—a reminder of their origins and a link between two generations of leaders.

“Tune in to hear their motivational account of heritage, principles, and progress.”
