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.

Motive works well for tracking drivers and for E-logs. My only real complaint is that it needs wifi to work. We purchassed tablets for the trucks and many of our drivers are not tech savy enough to maintain a hotspot from their phones. Their included wifi runs out very fast and then we cannnot properly view their logs once it runs out.

The Motive app is so complete that when involved in a situation where Police or DOT become involved, you have an accurate account of all the drivers movements, which in most cases are a major benefit to the driver and the company. The only downfall is that there is an opportunity for the driver to make changes that may not necessarily be true, which can be a detriment to the driver and the company.

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.

The only scenario I can think of where I would recommend this product is if the individual I was speaking with had big trucks and needed digital log books per state regulations. I ranked this so low because I do not have any associates that are in need of such a product.

Motive is a pretty good system to use. It has many functions that can assist with making your business work for you. And I also like the fact that there is 24/7 assistance telephonically if needed. For example, I had two drivers using the same vehicle and for whatever reason I couldn't figure out why when one driver drove both drivers time would start. After contacting the help line through chat, they walked me through how to set up the drivers in the system and resolved it on the spot.

When a driver was sick on the road and could not be reached, It was easy to send someone to his location because we were able to pinpoint exactly where he was located.

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.

Motive is an easy app for a driver to use. The dashboard is easy to use and there is alot of information available to use for safety. It is challenging to use for companies like mine (buses, sedans, suv's) to differentiate the driving of DOT and Non DOT reguated vehicles.

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.

This Electronic Logging Device platform is best used in all to medium sized companies or businesses. Independent companies and owner operators will find the services useful. Do not just accept their provided pricing. You will be better off if you utilize your abilities to negotiate and challenge their pricing schedule.
