Coleman Worldwide Moving is rolling out the Lytx Driver Safety Program to its fleet of more than 700 tractor-trailers throughout the United States.

The fleet is part of Coleman World Group, a family-run moving business with more than 60 offices in 18 states and one U.S. territory.

“Backed by the power of the Lytx Driver Safety Program, Coleman has within its grasp the ability to change driver behavior to improve the future,” said Gwen Vickers, director of safety. “The program has been exceptional in helping us ensure that our drivers are consistently elevating their skills to the next level, resulting in lower collision rates, reduced claims costs and an enhanced reputation for them and Coleman.”

The DriveCam device alerts drivers in real-time when it detects an abnormal driving pattern. Coleman strives to coach drivers about unsafe events within a few days. Vickers has leveraged Lytx’s remote coaching capabilities, allowing her to coach drivers in a timely fashion without having to wait for them to be present in the office.

“When done right, coaching can create positive change in drivers’ habits one small piece at a time, and that’s what we strive for at Coleman,” she said.

The Lytx program designed for Coleman combines video capture of road incidents, such as sudden swerving or hard braking, as well as data analysis of those incidents, and personalized coaching insights to improve driving behavior.
