Safety Serve

What Safety Serve does

SafetyServe is a private US-based online safety training provider founded in 1989 and headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The company operates as a subsidiary of TransForce and serves two primary customer segments: individual drivers seeking state-approved defensive driving courses for traffic ticket dismissal, point reduction, and auto insurance premium reduction, and corporate/fleet clients requiring scalable driver safety training for non-CDL and CDL drivers, including FMCSA-compliant Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) certification.

The platform is a web-based learning management system delivering interactive online safety courses with video content, progress tracking, and login-based resume functionality. The course catalog spans defensive driving (full-length and abridged, in English and Spanish), distracted driving, fleet essentials, professional truck driver training, and ELDT. The company is a dedicated provider of National Safety Council (NSC) certified training and maintains a flagship partnership with CDL School for commercial driver training referrals.

SafetyServe's revenue model is hybrid: individual course sales function as one-time purchases, while corporate and fleet programs operate as recurring subscription contracts with bulk enrollment. Go-to-market is bifurcated between a self-serve, product-led online portal for individual consumers and a dedicated B2B sales motion (led by a National Sales Director) for enterprise fleet accounts. Marketing is conducted primarily through organic social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube) and a content blog of safety articles, with direct customer support via email, phone, and live chat.
