The Motive Card! In the world of vehicle telematics there are multiple players that all have very similar capabilities and products are all very similar. The true tipping point for us as a business was the Motive Card. The potential fraud prevention and simplified tracking of …

Motive were willing to negotiate with me on the cost when I was implementing the ELD services into our fleet management. The implementation and install of the hardware was very straight forward and easy to do.

Motive is more user friendly for drivers, and admins, with clean simple to use app interface and dashboard reporting options

The others had some of the features of Motive but not all. Teletrac wasn’t user-friendly and wouldn’t stay connected. Samsara was actually pretty comparable, but we found the customer service to be lacking.

Motive is a lot easier to read. Direct, sufficient, accurate, programmed to show to the eye how the driver is violating log hours or even driving with mileage as to Samara Fleet, it is basic. No help, unsatisfying to the eye on how the program is presented.

The ease of use and features Motive had to offer were hands down a better product. We work with the Motive team providing feedback and constantly feel as if we are building the product with them rather than working with what we have.

We trialed Samsara and Motive side by side. Motive had a notably better AI detection rate. That and their road map was in line with what we are looking for. We want a long term partner who is moving in the same direction as us.

This software is kept in my pocket at all times. I can access the dashboard right from my phone using the app. If a driver calls needing help I can help anywhere. The product is so easy to use that not much training is needed. Our team is able to pick up the app or jump on the dashboard and go.

Samsara [for Fleets] is an excellent solution not only to help with the DOT/FMCAS ELD compliance regulation, it has helped our organization stay on top of our fleet health and maintenance better than ever before. This program takes the mileage from the trucks and uses that information to calculate the maintenance intervals for all service schedules created. Then it will give you warnings as the vehicles approach those intervals in order to help plan out maintenance for your fleet minimizing down time.

One of the features I find frustrating to use is adjusting speed limits. Sure, when someone breaks a speed limit and it gives me an event I can go into the event and easily adjust the speed limit, but ONLY FOR THAT SECTION they sped in. If I need to adjust the speed limit for the whole road, thats another matter entirely. We work in the middle of no where so I have noticed there have been more examples of this than I would like. But I also understand they get their speed limit data the same as every other service so its not like Motive is behind, just limited to the data they receive.
I would like to be able to determine event criticality so that any event I want to be automatically assigned as "coachable" will be. Also in regards to the events page, I would like to see a way to select multiple events (maybe some check boxes to select the ones you want) and be able to assign them all to "coachable" or dismissed". Especially during implementation we are getting a lot of "obstructed view" and this is not going to count against their score, we just want to dismiss them after seeing who it is so we can address it. But we get 10 or 12 for each person and have to go into each one individually... It is just a little time consuming and I think the multi select functionality fixes that.
Currently maintenance reminders use engine hours OR miles. I would like to see the capability of using both. for example, a good estimate is 1 hour of engine idle time is equivalent to 30 miles driven. So if we set a 10,000 mile maintenance alert, I would want that to include the actual odometer reading (lets say 7,000 miles) and add the engine hours to miles conversion, lets say it has 100 idle hours (100x30 = 3,000). Hope that makes sense.

When signing into Motive upon entering and starting motor vehicle, the app and the transmitting unit pair immediately. Once paired it is extremely easy and efficiently started to populate the necessary unit information. Then entering the Work Order info is seamlessly entered to the E- log. Doing the pre and post vehicle checks is completed quite accurately.

We have had a couple of issues with some GPSs not working properly. One is down right now, and we have to get it replaced because the GPS has already stopped working. Another was a cord issue. Otherwise, they have been working great with no issues.

Even after using the product for multiple years, Motive continues to have follow-up calls with us to ensure we are taking full advantage of the functionality offered, to show us new tools and modules that are being released, and to help solve any issues or troubleshooting that may be required.

Great support team. Always available by chat, phone, email. They have always answered our questions and issues that we've had with the software. I'm thankful to have such a quality team to back their product. I was surprised by the level of access and transparency they offer to their customer service team to share with us.

Our company used Qualcomm before getting Motive several years ago. Unfortunately, I was not working with the ELDs at that point. However, the majority of drivers say they like Motive more than Qualcomm. We have stayed with Motive due to its features, user support, and innovation with AI technology.

Samsara [for Fleets] is head and shoulders about the opposing products we stacked it up against. Between the ease of use for the driver app, the intuitive user friendly homepage and attentive staff and support team that Samsara provides makes their solution second to none. There have been multiple times that I have suggested items in the respective area of the website and within days I'm having a conference call with their development team so they can better understand what I'm looking for and how to make it happen and appeal to all customers in a constant effort to add value to their product.
