Michael is a versatile and dedicated truck driver who has been a cornerstone of the R&R Family of Companies for 19 years. Michael has made a name for himself by hauling a diverse range of cargo, truly living up to his reputation of being able to handle “anything and everything” that comes his way.
Outside of his trucking career, Michael’s enthusiasm for work extends into his personal life. He is an avid renovator and property owner, taking on various projects that include fixing up multiple properties, designing and building his own home as well as building a home for his parents, and recently constructing a shop for his brother and sister-in-law. His hands-on approach and craftsmanship reflect his dedication and passion for creating and improving.
Residing in Lincoln, Washington, Michael enjoys the tranquil lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest. He and his wife cherish their time together fishing on the Columbia River, finding relaxation and joy on their boat amidst the scenic beauty of the region.
Michael’s background includes a noteworthy stint in the Air Force, where he was part of the Air Assault team, rappelling from helicopters. After being medically discharged, he transitioned into trucking, a career that allowed him to settle down, start a family, and build a stable life. Michael is a proud father of four and a devoted grandfather to eleven grandchildren. Recently, he spent three weeks visiting his family in Louisiana and Tennessee, cherishing the time spent with his loved ones.
His love for travel and exploration is evident in his career. Michael’s favorite place to drive is Alaska, where he once lived for three years. He has journeyed across all the United States and ventured into all but one Canadian province, constantly seeking out new sites and experiences.
Michael Flinner’s journey from a dynamic Air Force career to a long-standing trucking role, combined with his dedication to family and personal projects, showcases his resilience, versatility, and adventurous spirit. His story is a testament to his hard work, commitment, and love for the open road.
Thank you Michael for being one of our drivers!
