Marvin Transportation has run aviation aerospace across California since the company started, with dispatch open around the clock and proof of delivery on every job.
AOG work is the purest form of expedite. A grounded aircraft burns money by the hour, and the part is usually at an airport across the state rather than down the road. The carrier job is to collapse the gap between the part being available and the part being in the hangar.
We support MROs, airlines, parts distributors and aerospace manufacturers across California. That includes recovering inbound air freight from LAX, SFO, OAK and SAN, moving rotables between repair stations, and running scheduled feeds into manufacturing sites.
What we move for aviation and aerospace
Time-critical at one end, heavy and dimensional at the other.
AOG parts
Grounded aircraft parts recovered and delivered on the fastest routing available, at any hour.
Rotables and repairables
Units moving between operators, repair stations and overhaul facilities with custody documented both directions.
Air cargo recovery
TSA certified pickup from airline cargo terminals at LAX, SFO, OAK and SAN, cleared and delivered.
Tooling and ground equipment
Heavy tooling, jigs and GSE on flatbed or step-deck with the rigging arranged.
Structures and assemblies
Oversized and dimensional freight between manufacturing sites, with permits handled up front.
Consumables and hardware
Scheduled replenishment of fasteners, seals and shop supplies into MRO and production facilities.
Why aerospace accounts call us first
TSA certification already in place
We are TSA certified, so airport cargo recovery is a routine pickup rather than a two day access problem.
Genuine 24/7 dispatch
AOG calls land at 2am as often as 2pm. A live coordinator answers and a driver is moving inside 30 minutes.
Airport coverage at both ends of the state
LAX, SFO, OAK and SAN plus the regional fields, so a part landing anywhere in California is reachable.
Custody records for traceability
Aerospace parts carry paperwork obligations. Every handoff is documented with release, receipt, timestamp and condition.
Oversized capability
Flatbed and step-deck for structures, tooling and ground support equipment, with permits managed before dispatch.
High-value cover
Higher insurance limits arranged in advance for rotables and high-value assemblies.
Certification and handling
Aviation freight is audited. The controls below are standard on this work.
- TSA certified for air cargo pickup and delivery
- Chain of custody records with release and receipt signatures on every leg
- Background-checked drivers with airport access credentials where required
- Documented condition check at pickup and delivery

How a run works
The AOG call
Phone, not a form. Part location, destination, dimensions and any airport reference. Dispatch gives you an ETA on the call.
Recovery
For air freight, the driver clears the cargo terminal under our TSA certification. For hangar to hangar, direct pickup.
Direct routing
No consolidation and no intermediate stops on AOG work. The vehicle goes from pickup to destination.
Delivery and documentation
Signature, timestamp and condition record at handover, with dispatch confirming arrival by phone on AOG runs.
Services these accounts use most
TSA air cargo
Airport cargo recovery at LAX, SFO, OAK and SAN under our TSA certification.
Same-day courier service
AOG expedite and rush parts movement with 30 minute dispatch.
Cartage and freight

Line haul
Scheduled lanes between manufacturing sites and repair stations.
Questions we get from this sector
Are you TSA certified for air cargo?
Yes. We hold TSA certification, which is what allows us to collect freight directly from airline cargo terminals at LAX, SFO, OAK and SAN rather than waiting on a third party.
How fast can you move on an AOG call?
Dispatch inside 30 minutes in most of our coverage area. Call (323) 673-7397 rather than emailing for AOG, and the coordinator will give you a realistic ETA on the phone.
Which airports can you collect from?
LAX, SFO, OAK and SAN as standard, plus regional California fields on request. Tell us the airline and the air waybill and we will handle the recovery.
Do you document chain of custody for traceability?
Yes. Release, receipt, timestamp, piece count and condition are recorded at every leg, and the records are retained and available for your audits.
Can you move tooling and ground support equipment?
Yes, on flatbed or step-deck with rigging arranged and permits handled before dispatch. Send dimensions and weight for an accurate quote.
What insurance applies to a high-value rotable?
All shipments carry cargo insurance and higher limits are arranged in advance for high-value units. Declare the value at booking and we will confirm coverage in writing.
Set up an AOG account before the next grounding
AOG calls go faster when the account already exists. Fifteen minutes now saves an hour when an aircraft is down.
