Safety
For those who have traveled with Pro-American Tours, you know there is no compromising when it comes to safety. We are extremely proud of the fact that in our 23 years of service, we have maintained an unblemished safety record. Through the years, the Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has conducted several extensive Safety Audits of our office and records along with numerous Random Field Inspections of our equipment and drivers.
