My overall experience with the Motive GPS system has been excellent. It offers reliable real-time tracking, intuitive dashboards, and powerful safety features like AI-powered dashcams and driver behavior scoring. These tools have helped us improve accountability and reduce risky driving incidents. The system is easy to use, integrates well with our operations, and provides clear insights that support better decision-making. Overall, Motive has made our fleet safer, more efficient, and easier to manage.

What they liked
  • What I liked most about the Motive GPS system is its real-time tracking and safety-focused features
  • The AI-powered dashcams and driver scoring tools help improve accountability and reduce risky driving behaviors
  • Its intuitive dashboard makes it easy to monitor vehicle health, fuel usage, and compliance, all in one place
  • Plus, the mobile app keeps everything accessible on the go, which is a big win for field operations
Room for improvement
  • one limitation we've encountered is the lack of flexibility in custom reporting
  • While the standard reports cover basic needs, they don’t allow for deeper customization based on specific metrics or operational goals
  • Expanding this feature would make the platform even more powerful

The cost was higher than expected, and the provider did not honor the previously agreed-upon pricing structure.

NOTHING BUT CHASING PROBLEMS

NOTHING BUT CHASING PROBLEMS. We have implemented motive products on all 265 of our fleet vehicles. They have been giving us nothing but problems, weather that's flagging our drivers for "speeding (incorrect speed data on their software), or missing dash cam footage of multiple accidents. Its really unacceptable. I am so annoyed i went with this company and implemented them for our whole fleet. They are a true start up and all their "customer support" seems like AI responses. They dont fix anything we ask them to fix. We are considering breaking our contract and changing vendors because it is so bad. Creates EXTREME administrative burden on me/my team to even be able to use this product that we pay over $100k/year for.

What they liked
  • The dashboard visual is decent
  • the physical equipment looks decent and the install is fairly easy but thats about it
Room for improvement
  • Their software is very glitchy, customer support is generic/AI
  • This company truly operates like a startup like they dont know how to operate at scale
Switched From

Switched due to pricing, but in heindsight i wish we had paid more for a product that actually works and doesnt drive us insane.
