Washington – October 16, 2026 -- The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has selected former TeamOne Logistics CEO Page Siplon as its next president and chief operating officer, ending a nationwide search to replace Rebecca Brewster, who retires in February 2027 after more than three decades with the organization.
Siplon joins in November for a three-month handover with Brewster
Siplon starts at ATRI in November and works alongside Brewster until she retires in February 2027, when he assumes the presidency. ATRI is the trucking industry's 501(c)(3) not-for-profit research organization. Its board announced the appointment on Oct. 16.
Siplon led TeamOne Logistics for more than a decade, focusing on drivers and safety
Siplon brings more than two decades of experience across private industry, economic development, public policy and military service. As CEO of TeamOne Logistics for more than a decade, he guided the company's growth and expanded its capabilities. His focus covered the trucking workforce, driver recruitment and retention, safety and the operational challenges facing motor carriers.
Georgia logistics role gave Siplon a record in public-private programs
Before TeamOne, Siplon spent more than a decade leading logistics and innovation initiatives for the State of Georgia. As Executive Director of the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics, he worked with industry and government leaders on freight transportation initiatives and Georgia's logistics competitiveness. He founded the Georgia Logistics Summit, which grew into one of the largest logistics conferences in the U.S. He later took charge of Georgia's broader Centers of Innovation program, which covers six strategic industry sectors statewide.
At the national level, Siplon served as Vice Chairman of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness.
Search committee cites partnership-building record
Brenda Neville, President and CEO of the Iowa Motor Truck Association and chair of ATRI's search committee, said Siplon combines executive leadership, a track record of building public-private partnerships and a deep understanding of the transportation industry.
Brewster said she has known Siplon since his Georgia tenure. She said credible independent research will be essential as trucking faces increasingly complex decisions on change, safety and policy. Siplon said he sees opportunity to broaden ATRI's reach and find new ways to apply its research for the trucking industry and the wider economy.
