Motive proactively protects your drivers and bottom line with AI Dashcams with HD footage for visibility into incident investigations and to exonerate drivers to prove innocence and defend against litigation. Our video clips default to 15 seconds, which our customers love as they can see what happens both before and after the event is captured.  Along with clear video footage, we provide personalized, timely feedback to drivers on critical unsafe behaviors. We also enable safety managers to maintain a record of coaching activity. Our in-house safety team reviews every event to allow safety managers to prioritize which drivers need coaching the most.

Motive provides the right fleet management automation to help you maximize asset utilization while managing safety, driver coaching and retention, and compliance concerns — all while reducing costs. By using our accurate reporting, data integrations, and predictive analytics, our customers can simplify dispatch with the most time- and cost-efficient routes that reduce fuel costs and carbon emissions.  Our platform tools also help analyze customer time-frames to cut detention time, enhance communication between managers and drivers through the dashboard, automate driver coaching, decrease vehicle downtime with preventative maintenance and fault code alerts, and streamline compliance to optimize drive time and minimize violations.
