5.0

William S.: My name is William. I'm an operations manager for United Business Enterprise. We have used Motive in the past for our logistics and tracking via Motive module, that tracks anything from miles to gallon to miles and tracks of driver wherever they're at. I give this at five stars. The other alternative that I used was KeepTruckin, which is in turn still motive. So I didn't really go far from the apple, from the tree. KeepTruckin before it became Motive was still a great option, and that's the only other trucking because Motive was the best alternative out there for trucking and tracking needs for miles, or keeping track of data logs for the trucks and trips. It was very easy, as Motive had very defined instructions to how to set up your software and integrate it with anything else that you already have. Motive is great for big fleets and big tracking, and easy for logistics managers to keep track of their trucks and drivers, where they're at, and how long they take on their trips.
