As mentioned before, we started off rocky because my ELD was not properly working correctly, after several emails, pictures, and talking to several technicians still with no luck. The support team was available, but it wasn't enough to fix the problem my vehicle/eld was having. After been sent different cords and multiple trouble shooting steps with no luck, I finally took it to a maintenance shop 3x times for them to finally figure the issue out.

It is hard to get in touch with support at times and the communication is usually poor. In some cases, they’re able to solve the issue right away and it is not a big deal. Sometimes they want to troubleshoot more times then we have time for and it just makes it harder on the drivers.

In my experience, it is a royal pain in the rear end to try to cancel with this Electronic Logging Device company. Make sure you know the business and that you intend to operate long term. Negotiate the length of the term of the contract, if you sign one.

Customer service agent are very efficient and quick to pick calls but some are not very knowledgeable and you have to explain multiple times before you get issues resolved or reach out to someone else. Also sometimes to get to a particular department the press key button doesn’t work, so you have to say the number to get connected

In my experience, I have been sent wrong cables. More importantly the correct ones were not expedited as requested, waiting 3 weeks for cables that are in stock is not acceptable. I have also applied for the fuel program twice and denied with no explanations. When I started I had 2 trucks, currently have 10 and will have 20 by Oct. $22,000 a month in fuel and Motive will never see a penny of it because of the hassles. I have applied for several accounts since starting this company and we have never had an issue with credit. $4M in assets and a healthy P&L. Your loss.

Refusal to cancel contract after gateway incompatibility with in-cab engine monitoring system

We spent many hours on the phone trying to come up with a solution to our special needs when we discovered that their gateway was not compatible with our EDGE monitors. They were never able to come with a solution and, in my opinion, seemed to think we didn't need anything except the engine diagnostics in their app and that engine diagnostics were included in the ELD mandate. In the end, they said they couldn't help us and refused to allow us to get out of their contract. We now know at least one company that is familiar with the EDGE monitor and how to integrate it with their ELD, but if we go with them, we would be paying double for ELD services.
