What do you like best about Motive?

The customer service for Motive is responsive and careful. We've been with Motive for 4 years now, and navigating the system as it has developed has been interesting, but at least we know that they are always trying to make improvements. The address for where our trucks are at is an awesome feature, and I've found it very easy to find our trucks wherever they may be in the US and Canada. When hooking the ELD to the truck, the directions were very simple and easy to follow. This tool is imperative for our operations team. Even our people in accounting use their access to check drive history and to make sure our guys don't miss out on breakdown pay, which our guys neglect filling out paperwork. It seems extremely accurate. Management and accounting use Motive several times a day. We would be crippled without this tool and I don't know how we ran without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

Sometimes I miss the deadline for when to request a video. One more day might be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Motive solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to know the daily habits of our drivers. I wear several hats for my company and one of them is the verification of payroll. We pay our drivers $25 for every time they need to put chains on their tires to get through a rough mountain road. Chaining usually takes about 20 minutes, so paying them is a little incentive to ensure their safety in bad conditions. One of our drivers was going through a pass in Snoqualmie several times a week. I claimed that every time he went through and came back, he had to chain. When we implemented Motive, we were able to see if he had stopped to chain, how fast he was travelling through the pass and if he stopped to un-chain as he came through the pass. We found that for every 10 times he claimed that he chained, he was chaining maybe once. We backed up the ELD evidence with the weather history for the region and were able to have a conversation with our driver about trust, since he had lost ours.

What do you like best about Motive?

I have been using Motive for a while and as a Safety manager in trucking it made my job easier. Motive has faetures for a better safety managemant and it's very useful if you want to improve your company Safety score. It shows details as disconnects, violations and it has many coaching events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

I find only two negative things on Motive. First, on the Settings (grey) dashboard, when selecting the "Drivers" section, it doesn’t allow you to select drivers by name. Instead, they appear mixed up, which makes it a bit difficult to organize and manage them quickly. This could use some improvement for better efficiency. Second, I find that Motive doesn’t offer training courses for drivers. While there are some great resources available for fleet managers, as a Safety Manager, it’s challenging for me to explain my perspective on the driver app to the drivers without more targeted training options. It would be great if Motive could consider adding some driver-specific courses within the app to help improve understanding and compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Motive solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am dealing daily with driver issues related to Safety and Complience, so when I have a problem with violations or disconnects, Motive is always there to help me out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Motive?

There are many aspects of Motive that I like. The best part of Motive is the software is easy, if you need to review driver logs for HOS or events it is so simple. Keeping the drivers informed is important and Motive makes this easy as well. The management and reporting side of the application are very nice and easy to use, from the driver aspect the app just works based on the settings that the company sets. There is a report for just about any amount of knowledge you want to glean from the app and there is just about any integration you could hope for. This application is continuously evolving to make things better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

Sometimes we do have issues that require higher levels of support and those issues can sit in the development black hole for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Motive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Motive is solving the problems of fleet management and making sure that everyone has the knowledge and tools they need to be on topo of their game. Motive is continuously evolving their app to make it better through new tools or integrations. There is not a day that does not go by that I do not access the Motive management side or app to complete a task for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Motive?

Receiving emergency service calls can throw a wrench in your daily schedule. With Motive it has streamlined my response time to customers because I can now accurately provide an ETA for the technicians arrival. The option to find my closest truck to "X" address is the biggest help in my day to day responsibility. I spend less time making phone calls to find out the locations of our techs which allows me to provide a faster response time to our customers. I use Motive daily, multiple times a day - at this point, I don't know that I could get through a day without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

I have not ran into a downside yet, I am still learning different tools the site has offer. There are a lot of different options to choose from, if there was a way to customize only using "X" tools to customize to the needs of the user, that could be helpful but not a deal break whatsoever. It would be helpful for the GPS to update on our assets more frequently than every few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Motive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking my fleets locations throughout the day. It helps me streamline scheduling my technicians daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Motive for our company, and it has been a game-changer. The platform offers everything we need to efficiently manage our fleet, from ELD compliance and GPS tracking to dash cams and fuel monitoring. The system is user-friendly, reliable, and packed with features that streamline our operations.

Motive has helped improve our overall efficiency, and I highly recommend it to any company in the logistics or transportation industry. It’s a great investment for fleet management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

When i click on a unit location to open in Google maps, I only want to know where it is and it opens with a route from my current location to the unit location. Also, when i copy the coordinates and put them in Google maps, regularly gives me an incorrect location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Motive?

The representatives assigned to your company fleet are dedicated and hard-working to ensure everything runs smoothly, whether it's the dashboard or purchasing products. Quick, friendly replies!

Meets all our companies needs for the most part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

Billing is a problematic situation. They have no area to enter a swift code to make billing easier for Canadian companies who want the payment taken from their bank account.

Billing does not send out invoices in time and so you have to ask for the invoice to be sent out. In turn, causes payment delays. If they do send the invoice out, they send it with "past due" invoices they are inquiring about even though payments are sent a long time and just haven't been properly received in their system.

Representative turn over gives whiplash. It seems someone new is assigned every couple months (might be a bit sarcastic) but it sure seems that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Motive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Motive is on the ball with solving ELD malfunctions quickly and efficiently. Getting things solved makes it easier for drivers to continue their daily logging tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

When a novice driver needs to complete an action from their end such as sign logs, it is a bit difficult to explain how to navigate throughout the system. But no worries, if there are any questions the team will always be there to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Motive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking and helping drivers accounted for. However, it's' much more than that. Drivers are being held accountable for their runs and miles. This ensures we provide a transparent and accurate detail that travels all the way to finances and compliance management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Motive?

I like that it easy to monitor the fleet in order to make quick decisions based on changes throughout the day. As long as the devices are connected appropriately, this makes calling audibles much easier to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

We frequently get feedback that the ELDs lose connection with mobile devices. This causes frustration and confusion when it comes to log compliance. I find that load times navigating to different pages within Motive to be difficult to handle when trying to review several events in a small time frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Motive solving and how is that benefiting you?

By allowing the fleet an easy way to log their drives and to monitor their driving is huge. We are big into safety and safe driving and having dual cameras as well as all the speed monitoring makes this a much easier task to accomplish. This allows leadership to focus on areas of need instead of wasting time reviewing 100% of drives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Motive?

This software is so user friendly and simple to use. There is so much information that the monitors can pull, and the camera's are such high quality! We have over 40 trackers and cameras installed and as we grow, we will add more to our system. From tracking trucking times, to traffic notification, too incident investigations and accident reviews, this system can do it all. Not to mention the maintenance tracking! Check it out! You'll be glad you did! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

I'd say that the least likable thing about Motive is the ever changing account managers. It made invoicing at the beginning a nightmare due to never knowing who was the correct person to reach out too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Motive?

We seem to change reps way too often. It would be nice to build a relationship with one person. It makes you a bit shy to do so when you know it is only a matter of time before that person is gone and you are on to the next rep. The AI Dash cam has a video qulaity issue. The tape that is used on the bracket is so strong it does not come off in times of replacing a windshield or if a driver leaves. We have been waiting for over a month for replacement brackets and have not seen anything yet. I have emailed several times and have not seen anything other than "they were sent".
