Fuel, insurance, labor, and equipment costs are rising fast. At the same time, oil and gas fleets face constant threats — theft, downtime, and liability among them. Margins are thin, and the systems meant to protect them are either incomplete or disconnected.

The issue isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a lack of visibility. Without a full view of operations, leaders can’t see where money is being lost or how to get it back. And while technology can’t control energy markets or supply chains, it can give fleets control over what matters most: safety, equipment utilization, and spend.

Motive delivers that control. All from one, integrated platform.

How Motive fleets are turning everyday decisions into lasting savings.

Track every asset — and eliminate unnecessary replacement costs

For many fleets, asset visibility is an everyday guessing game. Equipment gets dropped at remote sites and forgotten. Small tools go missing without a trace. And without clear utilization data, leaders can’t tell which assets are working — and which aren’t.

That makes it nearly impossible to right-size a fleet or protect investments. In most cases, replacement becomes the default. And over time, those replacement costs erode profitability.

Motive gives fleet leaders a single view of every asset — from heavy trucks to small equipment — with GPS tracking and utilization reports that make underuse and loss easy to spot.

With better visibility, fleets can:

  • Recover misplaced assets quickly
  • Avoid unnecessary repurchases
  • Reallocate underused equipment where it’s needed most

It’s not about cutting inventory. It’s about making sure every dollar invested in equipment is producing value in the field.


Insurance premiums have increased sharply across the industry — up 47% per mile over the last decade. And for oil and gas fleets, the stakes are higher. Heavy-duty vehicles. Hazardous cargo. High liability. A single incident can drive up costs for years, especially without the evidence to prove what really happened.

Motive’s AI Dashcams detect risky behavior with industry-leading accuracy, allowing fleets to coach drivers before accidents occur. And when a collision does happen, Motive provides high-definition video footage, reviewed by a 400+ person safety team, to protect drivers and reduce liability.

Safety managers receive instant alerts, complete with high-definition footage and automatic collision reports. These can be shared immediately with insurance providers to streamline claims — or with drivers who need evidence for roadside exoneration. The result: faster resolution, lower premiums, and stronger protection against costly legal battles.

We had a safety incident shortly after installing dash cams that would have taken us months to resolve without Motive. With the Motive cameras, it took us about 17 seconds to understand what happened and exonerate our driver.

Fleets adopting Motive have seen:

  • 80% fewer accidents
  • A 30% reduction in accident-related costs
  • A 21% drop in insurance premiums

Prevent fraud and reduce spend — before losses hit your bottom line

Fuel is already a top line item, making up more than 28% of total vehicle-based costs. But the financial risk goes deeper than price per gallon.

According to Motive’s Physical Economy Outlook, 43% of oil and gas leaders say fraud is having a serious impact on their business, yet most don’t know where it’s happening or how to stop it. On average, oil and gas fleets lose 17% of their total payments to fraud or theft, and the problem is growing.

With the Motive Card, every transaction is tied to the broader fleet platform. That means spend can be monitored in real time — with smart alerts, driver- and asset-level controls, and built-in fraud protection that stops misuse before it spreads. 


Motive helps you:

  • Customize spend rules by driver, item, or vendor
  • Spot and automatically decline unauthorized transactions as they happen
  • Earn up to 2.5% cashback in Year One and 1.5% cashback every year after, with no hidden fees

Today’s solutions go beyond controls and monitoring to include true financial backing.

Motive’s Fraud Protection Guarantee delivers an added layer of confidence, offering up to $250,000 in annual coverage against fraud and unauthorized transactions for fleets using the Motive Card’s advanced security features.

Unify your data — and move faster across the board

Most oil and gas fleets have data. They just don’t have it in one place. Safety lives in one dashboard, telematics in another. Spend reports live in a spreadsheet, diagnostics in someone’s inbox. Fragmentation like this slows everything down, including decision-making, recovery time, and coaching.

Motive brings all your data into one platform:

With everything in one system, your team can spend less time chasing information and more time solving problems.

The cost of doing business isn’t going down. But with the right systems in place, the cost of fraud, downtime, and lawsuits absolutely can.

Motive helps oil and gas fleets improve margins through better visibility, stronger control, and smarter operations — all in one platform built for the field.
