Motive Driver (ex KeepTruckin)

Smart ELD logging and dispatch tools for professional drivers

Motive Driver (ex KeepTruckin) is a comprehensive toolkit for commercial drivers who need reliable compliance, safety, and dispatch features in one place. It’s built around electronic logging, but quickly proves useful across the entire workday, from your first pre-trip inspection to final paperwork.

The core strength is ELD compliance. Paired via Bluetooth with the Motive Vehicle Gateway, the app automatically records Hours of Service and helps you stay aligned with FMCSA and Canadian HOS rules. Clear timers and color‑coded warnings show how much drive and on‑duty time you have left, reducing the risk of violations. Inspection Mode is especially well thought out, letting officers review logs without exposing personal data or unrelated trips.

Beyond logs, Motive Driver doubles as a telematics and workflow companion. Location updates feed dispatchers with accurate ETAs, while assigned loads appear with key details and tasks. Messaging is built in, so you can clarify instructions without juggling separate tools. Document upload for bills of lading, fuel receipts, or incident photos keeps paperwork organized and easy to retrieve.

Safety features add another layer of value. You can review dashcam clips and safety events, then compare your DRIVE risk score to a wider network of drivers. This feedback can help improve habits and support coaching conversations with fleet managers.

On the downside, the app’s wide feature set can feel dense at first, and it heavily depends on stable connections to the Vehicle Gateway and network coverage for real‑time syncing. Occasional lag in refreshing data may frustrate drivers who demand instant updates.

Overall, Motive Driver is a powerful, all‑in‑one companion for fleets and owner‑operators who prioritize compliance, visibility, and safety in their daily operations.
