Marvin Transportation runs same-day courier and freight service in Burbank & Glendale, with dispatch open around the clock and proof of delivery on every job.
Burbank and Glendale are dominated by one industry that runs on its own clock. Production and post work does not stop at five, dailies move overnight, and a drive that takes twenty minutes at 10pm takes an hour at 4pm. Serving this market means being awake when it is.
Alongside the studios and post houses there is a solid base of healthcare, professional services and light manufacturing, plus Hollywood Burbank Airport for time-critical inbound and outbound freight. We cover all of it on the same dispatch desk.

Why studios and local businesses use us
Awake when production is
Dispatch is staffed around the clock. Overnight dailies and late wrap collections are routine rather than a special arrangement.
High-value cover
Camera and lighting packages are insured at what they are actually worth, arranged in advance rather than argued about later.
Custody on media
Drives and media move under documented custody with signature at both ends, which matters when the footage is irreplaceable.
Airport coverage
Hollywood Burbank for regional freight and LAX under our TSA certification for larger inbound cargo.
Traffic-aware routing
The 134, the 5 and Barham behave very differently by hour. Dispatch routes around the clock, not the map.
One carrier across the basin
Burbank, Glendale, central LA, Long Beach and Orange County on one agreement.
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.

Same-day and overnight runs across the media district.
White glove delivery
Inside delivery and placement for equipment, sets and high-value gear.

TSA certified airport cargo pickup at LAX and Burbank.
Dedicated fleet
A dedicated vehicle and driver for productions with steady daily volume.
Questions about Burbank and Glendale service
Do you run overnight for production?
Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, and overnight dailies and late wrap collections are normal work rather than an exception.
How is high-value camera equipment insured?
Higher cargo insurance limits are arranged in advance. Declare the value at booking and we confirm coverage in writing before the gear moves.
Can you collect from Hollywood Burbank Airport?
Yes, and from LAX under our TSA certification for larger inbound cargo. Send the air waybill and we will handle the recovery.
Do you handle media and drives under custody?
Yes. Signature at both ends, timestamped, with the custody record retained. It is the standard handling for anything irreplaceable.
Can one driver cover Burbank, Glendale and central LA?
Yes. Distances are short and it is a common multi-stop run, though traffic rather than mileage sets the timing.

Tell us the run and the hours you keep. For productions with steady volume a dedicated vehicle usually costs less than repeated on-demand calls.

Vehicles are DOT registered, cargo is fully insured, and every job closes with a signature or photo proof of delivery.
