Morgan Olson announced the launch of North America’s Longest Working Step Van Challenge, a new customer campaign that will be featured at the 2026 FedEx Forward Service Provider Summit in Orlando, Florida.
The Challenge will search for the longest-working qualifying Morgan Olson or Grumman step van actively delivering packages for an Independent Service Provider (ISP) contracted by FedEx, with the verified winner receiving a new Morgan Olson step van body. *
Built around Morgan Olson’s brand promise, Delivering Certainty™, the Challenge celebrates the durability, dependability and long-term value of step vans that continue working for customers year after year.
Whether carrying the Morgan Olson or legacy Grumman Olson nameplate, these vehicles represent decades of engineering and manufacturing experience — and the trust earned from fleet operators who depend on them through countless seasons, routes and deliveries.
Some of the strongest evidence of Delivering Certainty™ isn’t found in an advertisement or brochure. It’s found in the customers who continue relying on Morgan Olson to keep their businesses moving, day after day, year after year.
Throughout the Challenge, Morgan Olson will highlight customer stories, fleet milestones and real-world examples of step vans that have remained in commercial service year after year.
“Morgan Olson has earned its market-leading position in step vans by delivering the quality and certainty our customers count on every day,” said Joe Thompson, COO of Morgan Olson. “The Longest Working Step Van Challenge celebrates the durability and dependability behind that commitment while recognizing the customers and remarkable step vans that demonstrate Morgan Olson quality in the real world — decades after these vehicles were built.”
Independent Service Providers contracted by FedEx who operate qualifying Morgan Olson or Grumman step vans are invited to enter the Challenge by submitting vehicle information, current vehicle photographs and verification that the vehicle remains in active commercial delivery service.
Qualifying entries will be showcased throughout the Challenge, including a Longest Working Step Van Challenge leaderboard at the 2026 FedEx Forward Service Provider Summit.
If you’re an Independent Service Provider contracted by FedEx and think you have one of the longest-working Morgan Olson or Grumman step vans still delivering, we want to see it.
Entries will be accepted through December 31, 2026. Challenge entry information, complete eligibility requirements, prize details and Official Rules will be available at launch.
