  • They have a good install team
  • In my opinion, the app can be confusing to drivers, I am often having to remind them how to sign in properly, and to be honest I do not know if I am instructing them right.
  • I think it is weird that filling out a pre-inspection report does not connect the phone to the appropriate truck automatically.
  • Personally, I do not care for the need to sign logs for days where you did not drive, I sign more of those than actual driver reports.

  • keep driver in compliance with HOS rules and regulations
  • let the company know when there is a maintenance fault
  • assists the company with tracking fuel making it easier to report Qrtly IFTA
  • alert company of unsafe acts
  • 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.

  • Total trip time for IFTA
  • Connecting to various brokers
  • Load recommendations
  • Log accuracy
  • Communicating with drivers
  • Some functionalities are available for use but not explicitly stated. For example ability to get the trip history per truck is confusing as it doesn’t specify the time( ET or CST), etc
