Marvin Transportation runs same-day courier and freight service in Fresno Region, with dispatch open around the clock and proof of delivery on every job.
Fresno is the freight centre of the Central Valley, and the valley grows a large share of the country’s produce. That means seasonal peaks that arrive whether or not carriers have planned for them, temperature bands that decide whether a load is accepted, and long distances between pickup and the nearest distribution centre.
We run refrigerated and ambient freight, distribution centre feeds and same-day courier across Fresno and the surrounding valley towns, with fixed lanes north to Sacramento and the Bay Area and south to the Los Angeles basin.

Why valley operations use us
Temperature you can prove
Continuous logging on every refrigerated run, with the log delivered alongside the proof of delivery so rejections have an answer.
Seasonal capacity held in advance
Harvest peaks are planned for rather than improvised. Tell us the season and we hold vehicles.
Hot shot for equipment down
Parts runs dispatched on demand, because a harvester waiting is more expensive than the freight.
Rural addresses found first time
Farm entrances, packhouse gates and yard access confirmed at booking, with the driver calling ahead.
Lanes in both directions
North to Sacramento and the Bay Area, south to the LA basin, at contract rates rather than spot pricing.
FSMA-compliant handling
Sanitary transport practices, pre-cooled vehicles and documented temperature control on all food work.
How a run works
Call or book online
Pickup address, destination, what is moving and when it has to land. Dispatch confirms the vehicle and a real ETA.
Nearest driver assigned
We dispatch from the closest qualified vehicle rather than a central depot, which is what makes local pickup fast.
Picked up and tracked
The driver verifies piece count and condition, then the run is GPS tracked with milestone updates to you.
Delivered with proof
Signature, timestamp and photo proof of delivery in your inbox. Temperature logs attach when cold chain applies.

Cartage and freight

Questions about Central Valley service
What temperature range can you hold?
From -20 degrees F for frozen product up to +65 degrees F for controlled ambient, with continuous logging and the log delivered with the proof of delivery.
Can you handle harvest season volume?
Yes, if you tell us the season in advance. We hold capacity ahead of the peak rather than turning work away during it.
How far do you cover from Fresno?
Across the central valley towns from Madera and Merced down to Visalia, Hanford and Tulare, plus the lanes north and south.
Do you run parts to farms and packhouses?
Yes, on hot shot dispatch. We confirm gate access and a site contact at booking so the driver is not searching.
Can you move freight from Fresno to the Bay Area or LA?
Yes, both are fixed line haul lanes with contract rates rather than spot quotes.

Courier and freight service in Fresno Region
We cover Fresno Region for businesses that need a package, a pallet or a full vehicle moved on a set schedule. Vehicles are DOT registered, cargo is fully insured, and every job closes with a signature or photo proof of delivery. One-off or recurring, dispatch can price it on the call rather than sending you a form.
Carrier standards for this work are set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. For everything else we run, see our California logistics services.
