Two Small Men Staff Spotlight on Logan Larsen: Building a Strong Team in Kamloops

Logan Larsen has called Kamloops home for nearly his entire life. As the Branch Manager for Two Small Men with Big Hearts in Kamloops, he runs a close-knit crew of eight employees and takes pride in making every move as seamless as possible. Families searching for professional movers in Kamloops often find Logan and his team ready to help with care and efficiency.

Logan’s journey with the company started about three and a half years ago when he first worked under a local independent owner. After some time managing a hotel, he returned to the moving industry when Two Small Men expanded its presence in the city. Starting again as a “swamper,” Logan worked his way back up to branch manager. That experience shaped how he approaches leadership today. “The most important thing is just learning who works best together and how to make jobs go smoothly,” he explains. Having worked at every level of the business, Logan understands what it takes to succeed both on the trucks and in the office.

Day to day, his role is a blend of logistics and people management. He focuses on scheduling, assigning the right crews, sending out confirmations, and handling the occasional inter-branch request. For him, the relationships with his employees are central to running a strong branch. “I know how all of them work differently together. They all get jobs done in their own way,” he says. That insight allows him to pair team members in ways that keep moves efficient and stress-free for customers.

Running the Two Small Men Kamloops moving company also comes with its own unique challenges. One of the biggest is the westbound truck scale near the top of the city, known across BC for being one of the strictest in the province. For Logan, it is a constant reminder of the importance of accountability. “It keeps us on our toes. We have to make sure everything is completely by the books at all times,” he explains. That means paying close attention to truck inspections, insurance, and pre-trip checks every single day. For customers, it translates into peace of mind, knowing their belongings are in safe and professional hands.

That commitment to safety extends far beyond the city limits. Kamloops’ central location makes it a hub for long-distance moves, something Logan and his team specialize in. From Terrace, BC to Thompson, Manitoba, his crews regularly take on lengthy jobs that require experience, endurance, and attention to detail. “I tell everyone: just make sure you’re safe. I don’t care if it takes longer, just get there safely,” Logan emphasizes. He is quick to support his drivers with accommodations if needed, reinforcing that customer satisfaction and crew well-being go hand in hand. For anyone planning a long-distance move from Kamloops, that kind of leadership makes all the difference.

Like many areas in Western Canada, Kamloops experiences a slowdown in the moving industry during the winter. But compared to northern locations like Grande Prairie, the milder Kamloops winters make it easier to keep business running steadily. Logan says the seasonal shift is noticeable, but not severe enough to impact staff retention. “We drop from maybe five or six days of work a week to three or four, but I’ve been able to keep everyone with me from last season, and I plan to do the same this winter.” The wider network of Two Small Men also helps. Branches frequently share requests and collaborate, which means Kamloops crews often get called in for extra shifts even during the slower months. For customers looking for reliable moving services in Kamloops, that consistency is another reason to choose Two Small Men.

Of course, not every move is predictable. Logan remembers one of his toughest jobs before becoming branch manager: helping an elderly woman relocate from assisted living. What was supposed to be a simple one-bedroom apartment move turned into an endurance test when they discovered she had kept every copy of every book she had ever written. “We filled almost the entire truck with just boxes of books,” Logan recalls. With one broken dolly, the job required carrying heavy loads down long hallways and through elevators. It was exhausting, but also memorable, a reminder that no two moves are ever the same.

Beyond moving furniture, the Kamloops branch has also made giving back to the community a priority. Last year, the team organized food donations, collecting canned goods and pantry items from moves and delivering them to the Kamloops Food Bank. They also support the local Boys and Girls Club, which provides daycare and after-school care. For Logan, community involvement is a natural extension of the company’s mission. “Being part of the community means more than just moving furniture. It’s about showing heart in every way possible,” he says.

Looking back on his time with Two Small Men, Logan feels grateful for where he is and the people he works with. “It’s a fantastic environment. I got into this position because I was really close with everyone in the branch. It feels comfortable to come to work every day and interact with the team.” That comfort, combined with professionalism and accountability, is what has made Logan and his team trusted Kamloops movers for families and businesses alike.

From carrying boxes of books down long apartment hallways to dispatching cross-country moves, Logan has seen the challenges and rewards of the moving industry firsthand. And with him leading the Two Small Men with Big Hearts Kamloops moving company, families can feel confident they will receive the care, safety, and professionalism they deserve on moving day.
