Motive ELD & GPS Integration: Advanced Fleet Management for Carriers

Motive (formerly KeepTruckin) is a leading provider of ELD, GPS tracking, and trailer monitoring solutions, with a strong emphasis on safety and compliance. Vektor’s native integration with Motive takes these capabilities to the next level, automating critical fleet management processes and providing real-time insights to carriers. Designed to simplify operations and enhance efficiency, this integration is a game-changer for carriers looking to optimize their logistics workflows.

Key Features of Vektor’s Motive Integration

Vektor’s integration with Motive is built to deliver seamless automation and real-time visibility across your fleet. Here’s how it works:

1. Automatic Import of Assets, Drivers, and Trailers

The integration automatically imports all your trucks, trailers, and drivers from Motive into Vektor. This eliminates manual data entry, ensuring your fleet data is always accurate and up to date.

2. Real-Time Asset Linking

Once imported, Vektor automatically links your trucks, trailers, and drivers with their corresponding Motive instances. This enables real-time visibility into:

• Driver Hours of Service (HoS): Monitor driver availability and duty status directly within Vektor.
• Asset Locations: Track the real-time location of trucks, trailers, and drivers.

3. Enhanced Safety Monitoring

Leverage Motive’s advanced safety features, including camera integrations, to monitor driver behavior and ensure compliance with safety standards. This data is seamlessly integrated into Vektor for centralized visibility.

4. Realistic ETA Calculations

Vektor uses Motive’s HoS data to calculate realistic ETAs for loads. By factoring in driver availability, duty cycles, and real-time traffic data, the system ensures accurate delivery timelines, improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

5. Automated Load Tracking

Vektor Bot automatically updates load statuses based on geofences, ensuring accurate tracking without requiring manual input from drivers. This reduces check calls and provides real-time updates to customers.

6. Capacity List for Truck Availability

The integration populates the Capacity List with real-time data, showing where available trucks are currently located and where they will be based on upcoming loads. This helps dispatchers plan more effectively and maximize fleet utilization.

7. Driving Route Records

Vektor records driving routes for each load, providing a detailed history of where trucks have traveled. This data is invaluable for analyzing driver performance, optimizing routes, and ensuring compliance.

8. Odometer Data for Accurate Mileage

By pulling odometer data from Motive, Vektor records the actual mileage driven for each load. This ensures precise billing, settlement generation, and profitability analysis.

9. Proactive Maintenance Scheduling

Vektor monitors mileage data from Motive to provide service schedule warnings, such as alerts for oil changes or other maintenance needs. This proactive approach helps carriers avoid costly breakdowns and maintain compliance.

10. Trailer Monitoring

For carriers using Motive’s trailer tracking solutions, the integration provides real-time location updates and monitoring of trailer conditions, including temperature and door status. This ensures sensitive cargo is transported under optimal conditions.

Why Vektor’s Motive Integration Stands Out

Vektor’s Motive integration is designed to fully automate and optimize fleet management processes, offering unparalleled flexibility and configurability:

• Comprehensive Automation: From dispatch to compliance, tracking, and maintenance, the integration automates nearly every aspect of fleet management, reducing manual workloads and minimizing errors.
• Real-Time Insights: Gain instant visibility into driver HoS, asset locations, and load statuses, enabling quick and informed decision-making.
• Customizable Configurations: Tailor the integration to your specific workflows, whether you prioritize compliance, tracking, or maintenance.
• Seamless Data Sync: Automatically import and link assets to ensure your fleet data is always accurate and up to date.
• Safety-First Approach: Leverage Motive’s safety features, including camera integrations, to monitor and improve driver behavior.

Benefits of Motive Integration for Carriers

• Save Time: Automate repetitive tasks like driver-to-truck assignments, load tracking, and service schedule monitoring.
• Improve Accuracy: Eliminate manual errors with automated data imports, odometer tracking, and geofence-based load completion.
• Enhance Compliance: Use real-time HoS data to ensure compliance with FMCSA regulations and avoid violations.
• Optimize Fleet Utilization: Leverage real-time capacity lists and driving route records to maximize efficiency.
• Proactive Maintenance: Stay ahead of maintenance needs with mileage-based service warnings.
• Boost Safety: Monitor driver behavior and ensure compliance with safety standards using Motive’s advanced tools.
