Moving cross country

Have maybe a stupid question but in September I’m going to be moving from West Virginia to Texas. Will be using a moving company. Have a large vinyl collection about 12000 albums. Worried about having them in the back of a truck the September heat. Anyone have suggestions on packing and what are the risk of warping. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you for the feedback. And by the way I was born in Texas and lived there for 45 years. Retired now so moving back home. Plus I miss Chicken Fried Steak great BBQ and real Mexican food. The double packing sounds good. Once agin thanks.

Five great reasons to be moving back to Texas. Good luck with the move.

I understand your concern about the heat, but at a practical level it's just not an issue.  As long as you pack them tight enough so that they cannot move you'll be alright.  Remember, for decades LPs were shipped all over the world via truck, train and ship and heat damage wasn't an issue.

Not just for the vinyl, but for all your other worldly possessions, you should physically be there when the truck(s) are loaded.
