Smith System

Our Smith5Keys methodology focuses on behavior modification through five core principles: Aim High in Steering, Get the Big Picture, Keep Your Eyes Moving, Leave Yourself an Out, and Make Sure They See You. This comprehensive approach combines classroom instruction with real-world application to create lasting driving habit improvements. Trusted by half the Fortune 500, our programs reduce collisions while building organizational safety cultures.

The 5Keys Engage platform delivers interactive safety training through mobile apps and web-based modules. This flexible solution combines video instruction with analytics to track progress and reinforce key safety concepts. Designed for modern fleets, our eLearning programs maintain engagement through microlearning sessions that fit into busy schedules while maintaining rigorous safety standards.

Our telematics solutions integrate real-time vehicle data with driver behavior analysis to identify risk patterns. By combining this technology with our proven training methodology, we help fleets reduce preventable collisions through actionable insights. The system tracks metrics like harsh braking, following distance, and lane discipline to create targeted improvement plans for commercial drivers.

We certify corporate trainers to deliver our Smith5Keys methodology through in-person instruction. The program includes comprehensive materials, recertification protocols, and implementation support to maintain training consistency across large organizations. Certified trainers receive ongoing resources to ensure program effectiveness and alignment with evolving safety standards.

Our compliance solutions help fleets meet Department of Transportation requirements through specialized courses covering hours-of-service regulations, vehicle inspections, and safety documentation. The training combines regulatory knowledge with practical application to ensure both compliance and improved safety outcomes for commercial vehicle operations.

Ordered more than 50$ worth of food and didn't tip a single cent, who would want to do business with for or hire these people if this is how they treat anybody else.

I took the Smith System Driver Trainer course in 2017. It has helped all of my drivers avoid collisions and reduce the number of instances. I got recertified in 2019 and in 2021. All of my drivers trainer employees have been great. They make the course easy to understand and answer all questions. I will be back in 2023.

Did my Recertification with Dale and it was amazing. He did a great job and makes me excited to be a trainer. Hope the next time I do my recertification I get Dale again.

I have used 3 trainings for my 15 years career in State Department, and that was the best experience I've ever had!

I experienced the Smith System Driver Training while working at Hawaiian Electric. I found it to be very informative although I thought the information was transferred to us a little too quickly. The trainer was very personable, adding a little humor at times, but he was very knowledgeable as the subject matter expert. I thought the video was very effective in demonstrating appropriate driving tips, and the driving instructor paused it at appropriate times to discuss.

I do think though that the video was a little too lengthy for one sitting and would have been more receptive if it was broken into shorter segments. The practice that followed on the road, I thought, was important for application purposes but I found it difficult to sometimes remember what the video taught us because I was focused on my driving. Nonetheless, the repetitiveness of the instructor guiding each driver helped with retention. It was a good training program overall. Thank you for sending us a great instructor!

Currently on my 3rd renew as an Instructor. I am happy to be making a difference in my Team's Driving Habits!

Best driving and driver behavior tools ever. I use the 5Keys (r) every single day and share the benefits with those who have not had the privilege of an in-person class.
