Mike Brown Takes Charge as OnTrac's New CEO

On January 13, 2026, OnTrac announced the appointment of Mike Brown as its new Chief Executive Officer. Effective February 1, 2026, this leadership transition is set against a backdrop of record parcel volumes and rapid market expansion. Previously, Mike Duffy held the CEO position but has decided to pursue a new opportunity outside of OnTrac, making way for Brown’s leadership amid exciting growth prospects for the company.

A Record-Breaking Year

The announcement follows a historic year for OnTrac, which processed the highest number of parcels in its history during 2025. This unprecedented demand signals a growing trend among retailers, marketplace vendors, and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) who are increasingly seeking alternative carriers tailored to their operational needs. Under Duffy's leadership over nearly three years, OnTrac successfully unified the two largest regional parcel carriers, establishing a coast-to-coast network that now reaches over 75% of consumers in the U.S.

David Horing, Chairman of the Board at OnTrac, emphasized the importance of this moment for the company’s trajectory, stating, "The integration is complete, the network is operating at national scale, and customer demand continues to grow. Mike Brown is the right leader to build on that momentum."

Mike Brown's Proven Leadership

Before becoming the CEO, Mike Brown served as OnTrac's Chief Financial Officer. He brings a wealth of experience from various sectors, including global manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics, with previous high-level positions at Fortune 100 companies like Amazon, Chewy, Flexport, and more.

Brown noted the strategic significance of this transition, saying, "We just completed a record-breaking year, with customers expanding their use of our network because they need a partner built around the shipper experience. As we enter 2026, our focus is on deepening that differentiation and scaling new services to uphold our reputation as the go-to alternative carrier."

As part of the planned leadership changes, Evan Weintraub has been elevated to Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, effective the same date as Brown's appointment. This reflects OnTrac’s commitment to leadership continuity and professional development.

Looking Ahead

With its recent integration now fully realized, OnTrac is poised for further growth in 2026. Plans include enhancements to existing services and exciting announcements later in the year as the company continues to adapt to increased demand. OnTrac's impressive distribution network not only covers a significant portion of the U.S. population but has also become a vital part of the e-commerce logistics framework.

As an alternative carrier network, OnTrac is committed to enabling shippers to gain competitive advantages through improved delivery times and operations that remain reliable and cost-effective. With an operational footprint that encompasses more than 70% of the United States in 35 states plus Washington, D.C., OnTrac is well-positioned to support ever-evolving e-commerce and omnichannel shipping requirements in the competitive market landscape.

As Mike Brown takes the reins at OnTrac, both employees and customers are eager to see how his leadership will shape the company’s future in the parcel delivery space. Their sights are set on ensuring greater speed and resilience in response to customer needs, so 2026 promises to be an exciting year for OnTrac indeed.
