Likelihood to Recommend We use it in our delivery vans. I know exactly where the van is at all times. I like the driving alerts to be able to have conversations with the drivers about being better. I also like that it has maintenance reminds I can send out to the drivers. The monthly fee is competitive. I really like the tracking part, so I can see if any driver is not on the assign route and can discuss why.
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 Cons I don't like the reports dashboard High number of alerts to know Tracker gets disconnected sometimes and we have to reboot 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 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 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.
