Chantilly, Va. – September 18, 2026 -- OnTrac, a U.S. alternative parcel carrier network, has appointed Josh Dinneen as Strategic Advisor to lead evaluation of joint ventures, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships aimed at new customer value creation in ecommerce logistics.

Dinneen returns to OnTrac after serving as Chief Commercial Officer from October 2020 to January 2025

He brings more than 23 years of experience in ecommerce transportation and logistics, including nearly 18 years at LaserShip in commercial development, supply chain solutions, sales, operations, and network strategy.

OnTrac's delivery network reaches over 70% of the U.S. population across 35 states and Washington, D.C.

The company, which has operated for more than 65 years, positions its network as critical infrastructure for retailers and shippers seeking faster delivery times, seven-day operations, and lower costs.

Irvine, Calif. – September 18, 2026 -- Reveel has launched Omnicarrier Decision Intelligence (ODI), an AI-native platform that lets shippers plan and manage multi-carrier networks at the package level in real time, eliminating reliance on blended averages or carrier-supplied numbers.

Most shippers operate blind on carrier costs, new data shows

According to Reveel's "State of Shipping 2026" report, 92% of shippers lack real-time visibility into carrier spend and performance, while 87% review carrier rates only during formal RFPs. That leaves surcharge interactions, dimensional weight thresholds, rebate triggers and volume tiers unexamined between negotiation cycles. Separately, 86% of shippers cannot model their own carrier networks, a gap Reveel says is critical as companies diversify away from single-carrier contracts.
