Roadrunner — Proven Safety, Professional Service

Overview

Roadrunner places safety at the center of every trip. The company combines rigorous driver training, documented behind‑the‑wheel evaluations, continuous coaching, and daily operational checks so passengers arrive on time and with confidence.

Why the approach matters

Roadrunner’s safety program is grounded in evidence‑based methods used by many large, safety‑focused fleets. The Smith System, a driver‑training organization with more than 70 years of experience, centers on five practical driving principles proven to change driver behavior and reduce collisions (Smith5Keys®). Roadrunner aligns its training curriculum with these principles through classroom instruction, eLearning refreshers, and hands‑on coaching to ensure consistent, auditable driver performance.

Measured outcomes from industry examples

The logic is measurable: companies that adopt Smith System methods report substantial reductions in incidents and demonstrable return on investment (see Smith System ROI guidance). Cintas reported reducing its total vehicle collision rate by more than 60% after embedding Smith System training and certified trainers across its locations. Penske Logistics standardized Smith System training for its large driver population and attributes fewer incidents and improved operational outcomes to the program. These industry results underscore the effectiveness of structured, repeatable training combined with data‑driven coaching.

Operational practices

Operationally, Roadrunner implements a documented process that includes mandatory initial driver training aligned with a Smith5Keys‑based curriculum, periodic eLearning refreshers, scheduled behind‑the‑wheel evaluations, pre‑trip vehicle inspections, incident review, and corrective coaching tied to performance data. The company’s approach mirrors the combined classroom, eLearning and behind‑the‑wheel methods that Smith System recommends for sustainable results.

Founded in 2000 and still serving Central Texas and beyond, Roadrunner stands at the ready for you and your group!
