when you're using Motive in your organization, it's like having a secret weapon for your trucks. It helps keep everything in line. Plus, it's fantastic for getting your team on the same page and making collaboration a breeze. It's all about maximizing productivity and ensuring your pickups and deliveries are a success!
  • Integration Capabilities
  • Customizable Dashboards and Reports
  • Collaborative Workflows
  • Mobile Functionality
  • Learning Curve
  • User Interface
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.

  • Customer Service is excellent. Any issues, they usually resolve it withing 24 hours
  • cannot think of any right now
Motive has helped our company stay compliant with the rules and regulations surrounding the transportation business. If easily assists our drivers with their trip planning as it shows their hours of service, how much drive time they have left, etc. It also allows myself to track drivers' hours from the Fleet View/Compliance function which helps me keep our drivers safe on the roads.

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.
  • Customer Service is excellent.
  • Adding and ordering new equipment is easy and arrives very quickly.
  • Their portal is easy to use and intuitive.
  • I would like to see more options with custom reports.
It is not often that I have had an issue with Motive, or their equipment, but the few times I did their support is top notch. My problem is resolved quickly. Their support techs are friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

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.
  • Fast update for current location
  • Notifications of unsafe driving
  • quick customer service responses when needed
  • They can make setting up new drivers easier
  • Finding reports for total miles per truck

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.
  • Great cameras. They are easy to view and have a clear picture.
  • Asset Tracking is simple and user friendly.
  • The ELD’s are great but we’ve recently had issues with them disconnecting. We’re hoping updated models will fix the issue.
  • Customer support isn’t always the easiest to deal with or understand.
It is fairly simple for office staff and drivers to operate. It’s nice to be able to coach drivers right there in the app and be able to view camera footage right away. The account representatives are usually very helpful and will help you get the support you need from the help center.

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.
  • Trouble shooting with driver
  • Walking driver through quick fix
  • Even complicated fixes very patient.
  • If they don’t have the answer will find someone who does and make sure you are taken care of completely.
  • More up to date equipment.
I called because my unit was going in and out frequently and without hesitation and I had to use a paper log. The representative was very kind working with me and determined that that I needed a new unit and ordered a new unit. He was very patient with me. I didn’t have to repeat myself over and over. He he was really engaged in the conversation. I was really pleased. Got everything completed and I received my new united sooner than expected. I was a happy camper after that.

  • Tracks GPS
  • Tracks Fuel Usages

  • We need to be able to add road side service repairs not just scheduled maintenance
  • I would like to be able to pull more functional reports
  • There is a button when doing query of logs for a period of time that says to export, AND IT SENDS TO THE DOT BUT DOES NOT SAY THAT IS WHAT IT WILL DO!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a very user friendly program and I have been very happy with our purchase. We could not operate without a good ELD system. Motive from what I can tell is the best bang for your buck.

We use Motive (previously KeepTruckin) for our ELD needs, including logs and IFTA tracking
  • online interface user friendly
  • In my experience, extremely poor technical support for special needs
  • Takes all of ECM functions, no compatibility with other ECM systems
I believe the Motive (previously KeepTruckin) gateway is incompatible with any other system needing to access the ECM. We use EDGE monitoring systems so that our drivers can monitor their own temperatures and engine systems while they are driving, but even after repeated attempts to get Motive (previously KeepTruckin) to resolve our issues and, in my opinion, their failure to even try to understand why we needed this system to be compatible with our own needs, their final decision was that they couldn't help us and that we had to stay in the contract until it expired. To top it off, I felt the email subject denying our request was demeaning and unprofessional, indicating that we did not understand the ELD industry. If you have any special needs, I suggest you DO NOT get involved with Motive (previously KeepTruckin)!!

We installed the Motive hardware in our truck and the main purpose of the tool is to track our truck and for ELD compliance. We also use it to calculate the miles travelled in each state to pay our taxes and also get timely updates when a safety issues occurs on the road such as hard breaking or speeding.
  • Tracking
  • ELD Compliance
  • Reports
  • More features on the Mobile App
  • Summary of the reports can be improved
  • More filters to deep dive into the data
  • Updated Truck Mileage at each stop or end of the day, etc.
Motive is well suited to track your trucks location and for ELD compliance. It tracks a lot of data that can be used to understand a lot of business metrics and help make decision to lead to profitability The reports that it generates are Ok. But, there is lots of scope of improvement there. It needs some more work on making the mobile application have similar features that we get on the website application.

Motive is used to help our company meet compliance with the Canadian Hours of Service regulations. Much easier to use than paper or the drivers and real time dashboard allows me to see issues quickly. No issues with lost or late paper forms any more. Driver feedback for things like unsigned logs are helpful to the drivers.
  • App for drivers looks similar to paper log so easy to view and maintain
  • Real time alerts to both driver and admin helps to resolve issues quickly
  • Trip inspection and log tied into seamless process works well
  • Drivers occasionally have issues linking to truck. Usually it is not waiting the few extra seconds to confirm connection
  • Dashboard system on the odd occasion does not refresh in real time, causing the admin to reach out to driver to fix something that has already been resolved
  • Help desk response always starts with a simple suggestion that in most cases has already been tried so often takes more than one contact to get to resolution.
System has the Canadian Oil and Gas cycle so is one of the few solutions if using that permit. Some remote areas of Canada with poor cell service can cause issues with updating back to the dashboard. System does seem to store and foreword so data is not lost but not always fully up to date in dashboard

We are a permitting company, we are a one stop shop for truckers. When they come to us for services one of the services we offer them in tracking and elog service. We do everything from getting their llc or inc, permits, tags, and fuel tax service. A big part of doing the fuel taxes is getting miles from the trucks. We use Motive and we are able pull miles with out depending on the customers to do anything. We currently have over 300 devices on our customers trucks. Having a dependable tracker and elog on the trucks keeps them legal and allows us to be able to get info from the trucks without having the customer do anything.
  • We have a great customer service rep very easy to talk to and very depenable.
  • Fast shipping
  • Customer service
  • Rewards program
In my case the main problem I have is because all the contracts are on us trans carolina permits inc but the sales force calls the end user talks to them and they allow them to order additional devices and we are billed for those devices with out our approval. This is a huge problem for us.

Motive keeps track of my drivers hours and also miles traveled. It is an excellent source for fuel usage management. The software gives diagnosis on how the truck is running and gives codes showing error numbers. I can also see what the fuel and dep levels are anytime during their tours.
  • Keep truck of drivers hours and violations
  • Excellent source for fuel usage per State
  • Diagnostic error codes
  • Mileage per state on website is not easy to find
  • Customer service is not easy to communicate with
  • The mapping sequence for drop to drop does not always work correctly
  • Being able to end a subscription when a truck is sold or totaled
Motive has glitches but for the most part does everything needed to track your truck and drivers. The software is fairly user friendly but the customer service could be more on point. I would definitely recommend for small trucking companies as a necessary tool to keep your company in compliance with DOT/FMCSA rules

My company began using Motive as a safe keep since February of 2021. The set up was easy and smooth. To ensure that I am always in compliance with DOT regulations, I receive appropriate notices through Motive such as when my 30 minute break and ensuring that my tractor and trailer has no defects. Lastly, the customer service is immaculate! I highly recommend!
  • Step by step details when communicating with customer service
  • Properly keeps track of all activity
  • Ease of use
  • Providing its own internet services
There was a time an employee let themselves on duty for the whole weekend. I contacted Motive, explained that this was an honest mistake and the issue was resolved immediately. The customer service agent verified that there was no movement. Customer service typically has a minimal wait time and are extremely resourceful.

Motive provides electronic logging devices as well as GPS locators and video dashcams. We use all three of these products and services and have used in the past TMS services through Motive connection with those providers. ELDs address the requirement by the FMCSA to have such devices. Dashcams are valuable assets in preventing fraudulent accident claims. GPS allows visibility of the location of vehicles. I oversee all aspects of the purchase, implementation, and operation of Motive services.
  • ELD application ease of use by drivers
  • Dashboard functionality and ease of use
  • Dashcam integration
  • Marketplace allows integration with other servcies
  • Customer Service overall whether by phone or email needs improvement
  • Better tracking of issues rather than assigning multiple numbers to one issue
  • GPS trailer locator devices are integrated so it shows which driver and truck the device is with
  • Improve current systems before implementing new features
  • Dashcams used to swivel left and right which allowed for better adjustment of camera angle instead of just up and down adjustment
  • Account Managers are more responsive and hands-on to solve issues when customer service is not responsive
  • Have availability of vehicle side cameras
  • Better flexibility to assign access and roles to dashboard users
  • Better reliability with GPS trailer trackers
Motive is well suited to providing simple, easy-to-use, electronic logging devices, as well as, video dashcams. Dashboard features and reporting are also good features they provide.

We currently use Motive as an ELD solution in our semi-truck. We utilize it for tracking mileage, truck location, engine status, driving details, log compliance, forms/PODs, fuel efficiency, driving speeds, and inspection reports. The dashboard is very user-friendly, with tabs that I was easily able to navigate while teaching myself the system. The over-the-phone support is THE BEST with Motive. Hands down. There is never a wait for a support rep, and they are very patient with you and the driver to work through any issue you may be having. My driver is easily able to monitor his HOS right from the app on his phone. The gateway was easy to install, and works well. A few times the driver's phone loses sync with the gateway and he ends up driving as an "unidentified trip." The resolution to this is usually to simply restart the phone or the gateway. That is literally my ONLY complaint! I like Motive. It absolutely fits my trucking needs. We have the road facing camera, too. I love it!
  • Customer service.
  • Ease of use.
  • Reliable equipment.
  • ELD sync feature drops.
  • Do not require forms as a part of compliance.
  • Alert driver if the truck is moving with no identified driver.
It is best for ANY trucking company that is dedicated to operating within compliance and with efficacy! The interface is user-friendly, and I love being able to see what my driver is seeing at any time. The software pays for itself a thousand times over. I only wish that forms were not a required part of the compliance graph, and that the sync to the driver's phone did not drop so frequently. It could just be my driver's phone however, so I do not hold that as a negative.

This product was the leading tracking software for one of our clients, it was implemented because of the reliability and recommendation of one of the partners; overall it improved the company's capabilities to manage assets better, and also gave security as the tracking is very precise and more than once it helped in some challenging situations.
  • Tracking capabilities.
  • Ease of use.
  • Security
  • User interface design.
  • Software stability.
  • Support
While the product covers its functions as intended, the support service is very lacking, that was the main topic in most of our meetings, such a great tool cannot be lacking in that regards, the software has also some minor issues on a technical level, mostly about system hang-ups.

Motive is the hub for all our safety, monitoring, and eLog processes. We currently have dispatchers using 3 screens to monitor drivers, video clips of incidents, and email/messenger to communicate with the drivers. We use Motive every day to make sure our drivers are on track with their deliveries, driving safely, and following all DOT regulations.
  • eLogs
  • Camera system
  • GPS tracking
  • Customer Service

We have had a wonderful partnership with Motive. The best part is the ability to communicate our needs and then see them taken seriously to develop new features.

We recently made the switch from another ELD service provider to Motive before our five-year contract ended. This is the fourth provider we've used over the last 10+ years and by far the one we are the most excited about. Motive by far surpasses the performance of anything we have experienced both from the perspective of features and benefits and from the perspective of system reliability. The system was easy to install in our trucks and the ELD component from the driver's perspective was easy to learn our drivers started using it after a couple of hours of training and practice. All of the features most important to our drivers are user-friendly including completing DOT approved edits to logs without management assistance. It is the safety and compliance features that we have benefitted and improved our business the most. Together with forward-facing dash cameras and speed alerts based on real-time roads being traveled on speed limits, we have increased our safety and compliance on the road. By reducing our speeds, we have realized a significant increase in fuel economy which has been especially important during volatile fuel prices. With a very sophisticated safety scoring system, we have been able to provide appreciation to our best drivers and encourage some drivers to improve their skills in a positive environment. Integration with our dispatch software is also important to us, and, again, Motive is unparalleled in the smoothness of the day-to-day operations with regards to information exchange between our office and drivers. The highlight of this integration is by using GPS technology, arrival and departure times at Shippers and Receivers are automatically updated into our Dispatch software with no user input at either end. The options for document transfer and handling have also contributed to our timeliness of invoicing and increased inefficiencies at the office.
  • The customer and technical support are amazing. You can talk to a real person on the phone who is knowledgeable and responsive. There are also online chat and email options.
  • 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.
  • Pre-trip and post-trip inspections for trucks are fine, but for trailers (assets) it needs improvement which I am told is being worked on and should be released sometime in 2022.
  • There are certain reports I would like to see added that I have communicated to Motive, and they are open to receiving suggestions.
Honestly, I think Motive is very scalable for the commercial trucking industry and can't think of a scenario it wouldn't be appropriate for unless you are a company that doesn't care about compliance and safety on a very practical and friendly level.

I use Motive ELD and dashcam. It helps me stay compliant with the FMCSA and also keep up with the driver’s driving behavior. It is easy very easy to use it alerts you before a violation occurs. It keeps track of IFTA. The dashcam is clear and alerts you immediately if a hard brake occurs.
  • Communication
  • Knowledgeable
  • Great customer service.
  • Better sticking bracket for cable.
  • Stronger adhesive for ELD and dashcam.
  • Brake alert is too sensitive.
Motive has well suited me in certain situations like warning me one hour before a violation occurred so I did not go into violation. One time it didn’t suit me for some reason is a pickup truck ran a stop sign right in front of me causing me to brake and turn hard left to avoid collision and the dashcam didn’t pick it up which I don’t understand because it will pick up a hard brake for parking the truck when driving really slow about to come to a stop.

As required by the FMCSA, I use the Elog and software to maintain compliance with hours of service as well as tracking maintenance, fuel, and vehicle statistics. The software within Motive gives you the ability to view and track numerous things when it comes to running your business. The system is user-friendly, and not that difficult to understand.
  • Tracks hours of service
  • Always updated when needed
  • User friendly
  • Easy to understand what you're looking at
  • Is like to see more back office capability
  • It totals fuel gallons purchased, but not dollar amount
  • Should total maintenence expenses in history
  • Total the days out on the road away from home, weekly, monthly
I really don't have anything bad to say. Motive does exactly what it's advertised to do. I just wish more capability could be added (office as stated above) I have recommended this to a colleague, and they did in fact take my advice. As a paid subscriber, I believe additional services should be less expensive, like dash camera subscription, and asset tracking
