To be honest, this is the ELD we started with and we haven't tried any others in our 2 years so I cannot say how it would stack up.

Chose Truckstop Load Board
When I am looking to find a load for our trucks, I like to use DAT Power load board, first. I go only use Truckstop.com, as a back up to check for any loads, that might not be appear on the DAT. In my opinion, when seraching for details on loads DAT is easier to use.

Likelihood to Recommend
Motive
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.

Truckstop can be used as a goto Loadboard for instant rates but the data is becoming less reliable. It’s needs to be worked on.

Pros
Motive

  • 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.

Cons
Motive
  • 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.

There are recently many other new companies that offer the same idea at a cheaper rate, but on the other hand, we are happy with Motive...

Usability
Motive
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.

Reliability and Availability
Motive
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.

Support Rating
Motive
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.

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.

Return on Investment
Motive
  • Level of compliance has increased significantly from paper logs
  • Saves driver time in completing daily logs
  • Reduced time admins spend on auditing logs as data is neat and consistent, and some of the more basic issues are auto flagged by the app
