Moving in the rain can be a challenge, but with the right preparation, you can keep your items safe and dry. At Move Logistics Inc., we know how important it is to protect your belongings during wet weather. Here are some simple tips to help you manage a move on a rainy day.

First, make sure to gather quality packing materials. Use waterproof boxes or plastic bins to store your items. Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper to provide extra protection. Consider using heavy-duty garbage bags to protect clothing and other fabric items. Layer your packed items with plastic sheets or tarps to prevent water from seeping in.

Second, prepare your moving truck. Ensure that your truck is clean and dry before loading. If you are using one of our 26ft trucks, make sure the interior is watertight. Our trucks are designed to keep your items safe, just like how San Antonio’s famous River Walk protects visitors from the surrounding elements, providing a pleasant experience regardless of the weather.

When packing the truck, load heavier items first and place lighter items on top. This method prevents water from dripping onto your belongings.

Additionally, plan your route carefully. Know which streets in San Antonio might be prone to flooding or water accumulation. For example, the area around the San Antonio Missions can get damp, affecting safe travel. Keeping an eye on local weather updates can help you avoid unnecessary complications.

Do not forget to dress appropriately. Wear water-resistant clothing and good footwear to stay dry while moving. Bring towels and extra plastic sheets to quickly dry off your belongings if needed.

Lastly, have a backup plan. If the weather turns severe, it may be wise to pause the move. Safety always comes first. Like the scenic beauty of Canyon Lake, make sure your move is not only efficient but also safe.
