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.
