OnTrac has appointed Mike Brown as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective February 1, 2026. He succeeds Mike Duffy, who will leave the company on January 31, 2026, to pursue a new professional opportunity. This leadership transition follows a record year in 2025, during which OnTrac recorded the highest package volumes in its history.
The increased demand for OnTrac’s services reflects the growing interest from retailers, marketplaces, and 3PL shippers seeking a scalable alternative tailored to their operational and commercial needs. During Duffy’s nearly three-year tenure at the helm, the integration of the two largest regional parcel carriers in the country was completed. This led to the creation of a unified network that reaches over 75% of U.S. consumers. This transformation has established OnTrac as a credible alternative in the last-mile sector and laid the groundwork for the next phase of growth.
David Horing, Chairman of the Board of OnTrac and Managing Director at American Securities, commented on the appointment: “OnTrac has reached an important turning point. The integration is complete, the network operates nationally, and customer demand continues to grow. Mike Brown is the right leader to capitalize on this momentum – he will enhance our relevance with shippers, sharpen our differentiation in the market, and lead the company into its next chapter as a scalable challenger in U.S. parcel shipping.”
Mike Brown was previously Chief Financial Officer of OnTrac and brings extensive experience in operations and financial management from global manufacturing, logistics, e-commerce, and Fortune 100 companies such as Amazon and Honeywell. Over the past 18 months, he has been instrumental in developing OnTrac’s operating model, investment priorities, and long-term strategy.
“This leadership change comes at a moment of real momentum for OnTrac,” said Brown. “We have just completed a record-breaking year in which our customers have expanded their use of our network because they need a partner focused on shipper needs – speed, flexibility, visibility, and commercial alignment. In 2026, our focus will be on deepening this differentiation, expanding new services, and continuing to earn our customers‘ trust as their preferred alternative provider.”
As part of the planned succession, Evan Weintraub, previously VP of Accounting and Corporate Controller at OnTrac, has been promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, also effective February 1, 2026. This reflects the company’s deliberate approach to continuity and leadership development.
With the completion of the multi-year integration and record volumes flowing through a unified network, OnTrac is entering 2026 with optimism. The company plans to build on the current momentum with service improvements and further announcements throughout the year.
