We’re honored to be featured in Racklify’s recent article, “Riding for a Reason: KSP Fulfillment Tackles the Iron Butt Challenge to Support Children of Fallen Heroes,” which highlights our team’s ambitious 8,000-mile, 48-state motorcycle journey to raise funds for LifeCampUSA. This initiative, part of our KSP Gives Back program, underscores our commitment to community engagement and supporting the families of fallen military, police, and first responders. As a veteran-owned 3PL provider, we strive to combine operational excellence in eCommerce fulfillment with a deep sense of purpose and service.
On Saturday, June 7, four riders from KSP Fulfillment—John Gamache, Josh Haynes, Kevin Loeffler, and Jeremiah Overby—will embark on a motorcycle journey that’s as grueling as it is meaningful: the Iron Butt Challenge. This test of endurance will take them through all 48 contiguous U.S. states in just 10 days, covering nearly 8,000 miles of highways, mountains, and backroads. Starting in Maine and ending in Walla Walla, Washington on June 16, the team will ride close to 800 miles a day through every kind of terrain and weather the country can throw at them.
But this isn’t about setting records or checking boxes—it’s about raising critical support for LifeCampUSA, a nonprofit that provides outdoor healing retreats, mentorship, and community for children who have lost a parent in military, law enforcement, or first responder service. The ride is part of KSP Gives Back, the charitable arm of KSP Fulfillment, and every mile logged is part of a mission to bring hope to grieving families.
The Iron Butt Challenge is one of the most demanding endurance rides in the world. Only around 230 riders have documented completions of this 48-state route, and few attempt it with the added responsibility of fundraising. The KSP team has turned the effort into a friendly competition, with each rider aiming to raise the most for the cause—Josh Haynes currently leads the pack. Supporters like MOTOSHIPPERS, LLC have stepped in to assist with logistics, helping transport the bikes to the East Coast starting point.
KSP Fulfillment is a 100% veteran-owned third-party logistics provider, headquartered in Minnesota. Recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Twin Cities, KSP combines rapid scalability with innovation—deploying Locus Robotics AMRs with integration from Peak Technologies to optimize warehouse operations. But beyond automation and growth metrics, the company is deeply rooted in a culture of service, resilience, and community—a commitment that extends to their philanthropic efforts through KSP Gives Back.
Now, it’s time for the logistics and eCommerce community to come together. This is a rare opportunity for 3PLs, carriers, warehouse operators, freight forwarders, and last-mile providers to show what this industry is really about: grit, generosity, and standing for something bigger than ourselves. Let’s rally behind these riders, support their mission, and help send more children of fallen heroes to LifeCamp. Whether through donations, sharing their story, or simply spreading awareness—every corner of the supply chain can play a part in this mission.
