Straight Forward Safety
Safety is and will remain 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.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Safety is a top priority at CFI. We are always on the lookout for how we can improve and upgrade to keep our drivers safe. Along with the safety features on each tractor, the average age is two and a half years years because well-maintained equipment is the safest equipment.
