ArcBest CEO Judy McReynolds will retire at the end of 2025, succeeded by President Seth Runser who will assume the role on January 1, 2026. McReynolds will continue as Chairman of the Board. Under her leadership, ArcBest doubled its revenue and expanded service offerings. Runser brings 18 years of industry experience and a commitment to sustaining ArcBest's growth trajectory and innovative initiatives.
ArcBest Corporation (ARCB) has announced that CEO Judy McReynolds will retire at the end of 2025, with President Seth Runser succeeding her as CEO on January 1, 2026. McReynolds will continue to serve as the company’s chairman after the transition [1].McReynolds, who has been with ArcBest for 28 years, including the past 15 as CEO, led the company through significant growth and transformation. Under her leadership, ArcBest’s annual revenue more than doubled to $4 billion, and its adjusted EBITDA grew to over $300 million. The company also transitioned from being predominantly asset-based to a full-service, asset-light logistics provider [1].
Runser, who has been with ArcBest for 18 years, will continue in his role as president and will also become a member of the board. He previously led ABF Freight and has been instrumental in ArcBest's evolution. "Over the past 18 years, Seth has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and achieved strong results," said Steven Spinner, the board’s lead independent director [1].
The announcement caps several recent leadership changes at ArcBest. In May, Mac Pinkerton joined the company to lead operations at its struggling asset-light logistics business, and Eddie Sorg was appointed as the new chief commercial officer [1].
The transition reflects a well-planned succession strategy aimed at maintaining ArcBest's competitive edge. Runser's deep understanding of the industry and the company's operations positions him well to lead ArcBest through evolving market dynamics [3].
