Rebecca Brewster reflects on ATRI career before retirement

Brewster’s career has grown alongside ATRI, a nonprofit research organization affiliated with American Trucking Associations.

(Karen Foote/American Trucking Associations) “The outcome was very positive not only for the trucking industry but every motorist who has to drive through there,” Brewster said.

Brewster, who graduated from Wofford College with a degree in English, didn’t set out to build a career in trucking research.

Among the projects she has most enjoyed is ATRI’s widely referenced analysis of the trucking industry’s top issues.

After years of traveling for research work, Brewster wants to revisit some familiar destinations, this time without a work assignment.
