Straight Forward Safety
Safety is CFI’s cornerstone. We remain vigilant on and off the road, always looking for opportunities to better improve our safety practices, update our equipment, and provide consistent training for our entire organization. We lead with safety-driven decision-making in all that we do. As captains of their ships, our professional drivers have the final say on what is safe. Nothing we do is worth endangering ourselves or the motoring public.

ANNUAL SAFETY “ROADEO” 2020
We believe we have the best professional drivers in the industry, and we can prove it!
We regularly participate in the Missouri Trucking Association’s “MO Truck Driving Championships” where highly trained professional drivers compete in a series of safety obstacle courses. In preparation for this state level competition, we host our own annual Safety “Roadeo” where CFI professional drivers can compete against each other to find out who’s the best of the best. CFI’s President and EVP, Greg Orr even participates from time to time. Don’t worry – he’s safe.
