Likelihood to Recommend Fullbay has been a game changer for our organization. The the ability to sent approval amount for each service order, causing a red flag if the total goes over that amount and requires you to contact customer for re-approval. Using the customer portal allows the customer to monitor repairs and to also book in a unit for repairs, allowing for fewer phone calls inquiring on status of unit.
Read full review The usability of Motive's platform and mobile app, particularly for tracking drivers and managing logs, would significantly impact its suitability for trucking operations. If it offers a straightforward interface, seamless navigation, and accessible features on mobile devices, it would likely enhance its effectiveness. However, if it proved challenging or lacked necessary functionalities, it might have posed obstacles to efficient fleet management.
Read full review Pros Fullbay provides communication between departments exceptionally well. Each Department can tell what the other department is doing or needs to do. The flow of the communication is very natural too. Fullbay's technical support is top-notch. I have had several instances where I didn't either understand something or couldn't figure out how I needed to accomplish a certain task. I would search their extensive knowledge base which is well laid out. If I couldn't find my answer there, I would just give them a ring. There readily available phone support either had the knowledge on hand or was willing to find out. The work flow that Fullbay provides is very natural. We struggled as a shop of 4 techs to find organization & efficiency. Once we started using Fullbay, we found that paperwork became very minimal. We also understood some organizational processes that we had needed were missing. It forced us to start rethinking how our shop was laid out and how we did things. As changes were implemented because of the process FullBay used, we found ourselves becoming more efficient which in turn led to us hiring more techs to turn out more work using the same amount of office personal. Read full review The customer and technical support are amazing. You can talk to a real person on the phone who is knowledgeable and responsive. There are also online chat and email options. The integration with our dispatch (TMS) software is flawless with nice features. The total safety options are very robust. Our insurance carrier loves what we are reporting to them.

Read full review Cons The notification feature inside Fullbay is about the only thing I would say needs improving. There is not an option to set up a text or email notification if a customer leaves a note on a service order. You have to watch the notification area. If you don't look at it regularly you could miss a note from the customer. Not a pitfall, but something that could use improving. Read full review I had issues with adding another company to my fleet to track them while they were driving for my company. I had issues when I first started using Motive with the install. Motive assisted with a talk through method, but it still didn't work. I ended up taking the truck to the shop 3x before they figured out the problem. So, I would like to see Techs nearby to assist with technical issues.

Read full review Usability Fullbay is very user friendly, well organized and intuitive. New users have caught on with only a few hours training. Techs are able to navigate thru there service orders with ease, even without a computer background.
Read full review When signing into Motive upon entering and starting motor vehicle, the app and the transmitting unit pair immediately. Once paired it is extremely easy and efficiently started to populate the necessary unit information. Then entering the Work Order info is seamlessly entered to the E- log. Doing the pre and post vehicle checks is completed quite accurately.
Read full review Reliability and Availability I have had no issues with applications errors, system problems, or equipment. The items I need have been available in a reasonable amount of time. The only exception is when I have needed the correct cables sent to me and I couldn't even offer to pay for overnight myself. Manual logs are just a headache especially when you ordered the units and received them in enough time.
Read full review Support Rating Fullbay support is excellent. Front end training was well presented and organized well. As we started using Fullbay support was a phone call or email away. Once training was completed the support team was ready to help with any challenges. If we found a glitch or issue using the program, one email and someone was on it to fix our issues.
Read full review Support is super easy to get a hold of via the live chat feature, which is convenient; however, the helpfulness of the person I get on the live chat very much varies but for the majority of the people I get, I am usually sent links to different self help pages on the Motive website. So, support isn't unhelpful, but it could be better. However, we have a new account rep who has really been going above and beyond to help us out in the last couple of months.

Read full review Implementation Rating The last device we got had a $10 increase, this feature can make customers upset and send them to the competition.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Truck X customer support is extremely difficult to understand and they take a very long time to complete one task. Each time my husband or I called it was nothing short of 20 minutes and they would talk as though we were just too stupid to make their device work properly.
Read full review Return on Investment Our shop had 4 tech producing 100 ttl hours / week. After implementing and understanding how to use Fullbay, we have been able to increase those numbers to 7 techs producing 250 ttl hours / week. All the while we are still using the same amount of office personal.
