Motive On The Move

My use of the Motive app is in the application of using the electronic log book instead of the paper log books that have been in use for decades. Using electronic logs dispenses with the tedious completion of the paper logs, which if making a mistakes is not easy to fix unless you tear out a page which is not a good idea and possibly illegal. The E Logs are much more beneficial in the monitoring of the vehicles location and driver operations.

We have been using Motive for couple of years. The way the system is set to get notifications and updates on how each driver and equipment is doing is wonderful. The customer service is amazing, as I have used both online chat and over the phone. Online chat is also very quick and easy. There asset tracking requires wiring which it would be nice if the solar system on it was much stronger for charging it. Cameras are amazing inside and outside they do a great job on quick catches and notifying. 100% i recommend it.

We are a relative small company with a fleet size of about 8 trucks. Our main use of Motive is for fleet tracking and driver safety. Motive allows to monitor the vehicle's performance and react to issues very quickly. Real time tracking has been a game changer.

Is one of the best ELD that I found in the market, the API is so easy and comprehensive, what I like the most is that the safety department received all kind off alerts while the driver is in the road, that allow us to do a good tracking in some specific moments and also know in what kind of metrics the drivers are failing and prepare the training for them. Operation department is also using as a good tool of tracking and provide a API to share with the broker that you work with, giving a good tracking for them also and allow us, as a company, to have a good score with them. its a great tool to have in the company.

We use it every day to track our trucks. We are very satisfied with the ELD devices and with their support. With Motive we have more clearly visibility where are the drivers at all times, this is very helpful when we have to notify our customer regarding their ETA.

We switched to Motive when the state requirements were updated to necessitate digital log books for our big truck drivers. Unfortunately, none of our drivers are full time drivers and this leads to a lot of confusion and forgetting to update these digital logbooks. If the state would let us return to paper logs we would, and everyone here would be far less stressed when we do have to drive the big trucks.

Motive (previously KeepTruckin) allows our dispatch to keep continuous eyes on our drivers. We are notified of their driving condition. The ease of use for mileage gathering and routes taken help our team use their time to focus on other areas of need.

Motive allows us to track our trucks and trailers all on the same site. We use the ELD’s for our drivers and can coach them on the spot. Our drivers can keep their logs up-to-date easily with electronic logs. The cameras allow us to view any events that could have resulted in a wreck or see the footage leading up to a wreck. There is also a load board that we use on occasion.

I have used Motive for several years and am currently using it for our company with a fleet of 80 vehicles. It is a reliable ELD that held up under a few DOT audits. The cameras work well and have helped capture information that proved we did not have liability in an accident. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a good E

We use the Eld in our trucking business on a daily basis. It keeps track of the location of each driver and their scheduled time of duty and off thing. I really appreciate the help we get when we call the technical department. They are very helpful and patient with us helping solve all of our problems and getting back up and running quickly. I recommend Motive (previously KeepTruckin) to call my friends who I find out that are starting out in the trucking business.

We use motive as our Electronic Logging Device service. It’s an easy platform to use and navigate. It provided electronic driver vehicle inspection reports for both the truck and the trailers. The downside is that a driver has very little editing power through this device with it being connected to a truck.

Trucking companies per FMCSA need a e log to ensure drivers follow rules and regulations as it relates to drive time when operating the truck. Keep Motive assist in the following areas. For monitoring log and drive time of drivers for FMCSA compliance purposes. For getting total miles driven by truck for IFTA purposes. For searching available loads and reaching out to brokers to book loads

When we started looking into ELD's there were a ton of options, but we ultimatley chose Motive for the easy learning curve. As a company who employs older tech challenged drivers Motive was a god send. Even our most stubborn Tech opposed driver was able to handle Motive. Anytime i have called there has always been someone knowledgable on the other end of the line with a solution. Would highly recommend
