Motive Driver

DO NOT RECOMMEND. This app uses outdated maps. Then when you reach out to them and tell them about the false violations, they pass the buck and say reach out to your manager. Do not use this app or the camera that they use with it. It becomes more of a nuisance than a safety thing.

It’s generally okay to use, but I have 4 issues: 1) when you’re driving and it brings up the locked screen with your clock(s), it seems to default to one clock - your drive time remaining. I’m using an iPad in landscape and I like to see all 4 clocks, but I have to tap the toggle all the time to see them. I would like it to remember the last setting like the day / night toggle does. 2) equipment inspections. If I’m already connected to a vehicle (via Bluetooth), why does it give me a screen to select my vehicle? I can only operate one at a time! As for assets, I would like the selection screen to show everything entered in the trailer field, and give me the option to choose one or more items to apply the inspection to. For instance, I have to log an inspection 3 separate times when I’m hauling doubles (each trailer and the dolly). I should be able to select multiple items and go through the process just once. In fact, you could include the truck and all assets on one selection screen instead of having us select vehicle or asset. After the selection screen, the process for logging an inspection is very awkward. You have to tap all over the screen many times to complete the process. Drop down boxes which pop up from the bottom of the screen, then save in the upper right, then back to the bottom to accept my signature. Lots of tapping and it’s just a messy process. 3) my signature. I like when it saves it, but sometimes it doesn’t and wants me to re-draw it. My company has chosen to have us drivers go through a daily walkthrough, and it never fills in a saved signature 4) the daily walkthrough. It’s as awkward a process as adding an inspection. This could be made way better. I also have a problem with it prompting me to add an inspection. If I’m just starting my day, I need to spend the time doing a pre-trip while on duty before certifying the safe condition of the equipment. It should not be asking for this inspection during the “start your day” walkthrough.

I like Motive and I used to use it when it was KeepTruckin. I’ve used other ELD’s and I think this is the best so far. My only complaint is that it’s glitches out from time to time. I get to a location and realize it didn’t record my driving. Although later it will give an option to update the missing drive time it’s an inconvenience if I don’t know exactly what I have to work with.

It will say you speeding in a area that has posted speed limit but will give another speed limit alert. Me and a few other drivers notice that there A.I cameras, with this motive system is detecting false readings. All of us drive in this one area that has a posted speed limit 70. But all of us get a speeding alert saying it 55. Then our safety department get on us about it, after telling them it not 55 it 70. We came up with the solution that this motive company must be using google map or Waze to determine the speed limit for every road because when you go on google map or Waze it showing 55 in a area that had construction a long time ago. But google map or Waze hasn’t update it in there system either. Also how can a A.I camera determine when your in a construction zone with a speed limit 55 and out of it. There are no signs up the majority time saying when your out of a construction zone and can return to the normal speed limit, so something odd about that feature. They should just remove that feature it throwing false reading. And places like Nashville got digital speed limit signs that change through out the day base on traffic flow. Google map and Waze not even accurate because speed limit changes everyday. If motive ADDED video clips of the speeding they so called say that we are doing then, that will be great so safety department can see for themselves that the A.I made a mistake. Companies aren’t believing the driver because of your system giving false riding. Either add the feature with video clips of speeding or remove it and leave it up to highway patrol to give us speeding ticket. Let the driver be accountable for his actions not relying on A.I cameras to throw false alerts and the driver getting in trouble for something he/she not even doing. They send video clip of everything else but not speeding. And watch they respond with the same response, like there doing under every review. We know your not reading the reviews and trying to improve your company. Everything else works well. Just that false speed reading is a waist of time getting innocent people in trouble with there company.

Under maintenance when you select “Pre-Trip inspection” it makes you select “Pre-Trip Inspection” a 2nd time. It also makes you select the truck or trailer rather than just defaulting to it. The Software update just made the app very cumbersome to use. They took an app that was working fine and messed it up.

This app is by far the worst. The update make you have to push so many buttons just to do an inspection. The app lags all the time. The recent update showed me shift violation on split berth when I didn’t go over my time. Also the violation didn’t appear till over a week later. Tech support said they was looking into it’s been 4 days and no word. If you are doing split berth make sure you screenshot your progress. In case pulled over by DOT and start looking for another ELD system.

This app is pretty good keeping track of your driving daily. I really wish the pre/post trip section had it to where you can select all instead of having to thumb up all the categories individually. That would be helpful. I’d give it 5 stars then.

With every new update to make it harder and harder to do simple things. Like selecting vehicle in the inspection menu. What was wrong with the old select that you had to put in “search” for the vehicle? More steps needed to do one step task. Stupid.

Please fix, I keep getting violations!!!

Nothing like having the place u work watch u pick your nose. And then tell u how to drive. The app is deleted
