Freightliner MT45 16’ P900 Step Van: A FedEx Contractor Favorite

When it comes to FedEx delivery, the 16’ P900 step van is one of the most sought-after trucks on the road. Built on the Freightliner MT45 chassis, this model balances cargo space, maneuverability, and long-lasting durability — making it a perfect fit for FedEx Ground contractors.

At our dealership, we specialize in supplying reconditioned P900s that are FedEx-ready.

What is a P900 Step Van?

  • P900 is FedEx’s designation for step vans with a 16’ cargo body.

  • Typically offers ~1,000–1,200 cu. ft. of storage space.

  • Popular because it’s larger than a P700 but still easier to handle than a P1000 or P1200.

  • The “sweet spot” for routes that require capacity without sacrificing efficiency.

Why Contractors Choose the Freightliner MT45?

  • Proven Diesel Power: Many MT45s come with Cummins diesel engines, known for their longevity and torque.

  • Built for Work: Sturdy frame and drivetrain designed for commercial use.

  • Easy Parts & Service: Freightliner’s nationwide support network makes upkeep straightforward.

  • Driver-Friendly Design: Wide cab entry, clear visibility, and ergonomic layout.

Benefits of the 16’ Cargo Size for FedEx Routes?

  • Large enough to handle peak volume, small enough for tight neighborhoods.

  • Helps reduce multiple trips back to the terminal.

  • Contractors report that 16’ trucks deliver the best balance between efficiency and earnings.

  • Fuel and maintenance costs are often lower compared to oversized vans.
