This minimizes the time your trucks are out of service when you make the move to the Motive Platform.

You also earn fuel rebates at more than 38,000 partner locations in North America and up to 2.5% cashback* on every purchase in the first year. Idling alerts and driver coaching can also help reduce fuel waste across your fleet.
Is Motive too comprehensive for a landscaping company with simple operational needs?
No. Motive is designed to be as simple or as comprehensive as your operation requires. You can start with the essentials, like vehicle and equipment tracking, maintenance, fuel spend, or driver safety, and add capabilities as your business grows. With plug-and-play hardware, an easy-to-use platform, and automated workflows, Motive helps landscaping teams spend less time managing technology and more time running the business.
I’m concerned about install time disrupting service. How long does Motive take to install?
