DRM, built on the 5Keys behavioral framework
Backed by 70+ years of expertise, our programs help drivers reduce risk and stay in control, in any vehicle, anywhere. 5Keys Driver Risk Management is the only DRM program built on the Smith5Keys®, the behavioral framework that has trained millions of commercial drivers across more than half the Fortune 500.
Inside
the Program
A program for fleet safety. Not a product.
Ask ten fleet managers what driver risk management means, and most will describe something they buy. A telematics platform. A camera system. A scorecard. That is exactly where most fleet safety programs fail. Real Driver Risk Management is an organizational commitment that the safety of every driver is a core business value - pursued every day, in every vehicle, by every driver.
5Keys®
Training
Behind-the-wheel instruction that turns 5Keys knowledge into on-road habit.
Backed by data and guided by over 70 years of expertise, our programs help drivers in any vehicle, anywhere, reduce risks and stay in control. We are the only Driver Risk Management company that brings you leading edge behavior-modifying methods built on a foundation of the best in-person driver safety training in our industry: The Smith 5Keys.
Driver
Compliance
Continuous MVR monitoring, mapped to the same behavioral language as everything else.
MVRs pulled on cadence, license status verified, attestations tracked — all on the same 5Keys pathway as a telematics event. A speeding citation is a Leave Yourself an Out signal. Compliance data is behavioral data.
Monitoring
Data-agnostic by design. Any telematics or camera source feeds the program.
Analytics
Risk concentration, intervention effectiveness, and benchmarking at fleet, division, and portfolio level.
Analytics turns the 5Keys Score from a per-driver view into a program view. Which Keys are the most common gaps? Where is risk concentrating - by site, by route, by tenure cohort? Are interventions working?
Most fleets spread coaching resources evenly when data shows risk is concentrated in a fraction of drivers. Analytics points coaching at where it changes outcomes.
5Keys®
Score
A behaviorally-anchored composite score. Every signal maps to the specific 5Key the driver missed.
The 5Keys Driver Scorecard is the behavioral intelligence engine. Every signal — telematics, MVR, BTW, Skills Builder — maps to one of the five Keys. The score tells you not just that the driver is risky, but which behavioral decision is missing.
A hard-braking event most commonly indicates Get the Big Picture. The Score names that gap. It routes the driver to coaching content addressing that specific Key.
Coaching
& Reinforcement
Coaching that speaks the same 5Keys language as training. Reinforcement that makes safety identity.
In most fleets, supervisors review event lists and improvise. Different supervisors coach the same event in three different ways. Drivers receive contradictory messages.
In a 5Keys DRM program, the Score names which Key the driver is missing. Skills Builder auto-assigns the matching microlesson. Recognition through Engage makes safe driving part of professional identity.
