Motive Driver (ex KeepTruckin)

This is actually a pretty amazing app that lets you keep all you logs and inspections in an easy to use format. It’s also easy to submit the logs and inspections to the companies office. It can fax the logs or email them. If your company sets up an account real quick they can get all your logs without even having to submit them. Some features that would be automatic duty status change by detecting when your moving/driving and when you've stopped. Another app i like does this, it would be nice if it detected the location automatically with GPS as well. That would just be one less thing to have to manually add. I constantly forget to log my duty status changes and am constantly having to go back and modify them and add them. Perhaps a map interface when you have the app open could display your current location on a map so I can just keep my phone mounted and have an app that does everything I need while driving. It’s a great app and it’s is honestly the one my company uses now because I just started fsxing snd emailing my logs

This app was suggested to me by another driver! At first I was hesitant as to its abilities to keep track of all the essentials. Especially since I've been use to doing it with pen and paper logs for 10 years now! So I decided to give it a 2 week trial. I gotta tell you that this app really impressed me! It keeps track of your hours, there's a location button for when you need to log a city. You don't have to keep writing your company address everyday it keeps it until you need to change it. Same goes for truck and trailer #'s and shippers commodity info! That comes in handy when you loads takes a few days to complete! All that info stays the same until you need to change it. It sends you a mobile notification when you are 1 hour away from HOS violation. Meaning your approaching your 8 hr break or your 11/14hr. And if you have an iWatch, it even pings you on the matter! The best thing is, when your off duty or taking home time, when you go off duty for 3 , 5, 10, 14 days ..it doesn't matter it keeps you on that line until you change your status. You can plan your day wiser. If your on your way to your company yard and you have you load info.. just insert the info thru your phone or iPad or tablet and you've saved time there. There are two ways to log.. the standard 15 mins increments or real time. Say it only takes you 5 mins to drop & hook, you can log 5 mins! It's a really awesome app! I wouldn't go back to paper logs at this point!!

I am driver manager for a small company delivering trucks and trailers. I also drive, working as team leader for crews on the road. Everyone here is an independent contractor. Since we move from vehicle to vehicle (sometimes multiple times in a day), Keep Trucking makes it very simple to keep up with unit numbers,drivetime and on duty not driving. The app shows any violation. And mistakes can easily be corrected. It simplifies record keeping for management and for the drivers personal records. As everything is stored electronically, it saves time and work for everyone who uses the app. At tax time, just let your tax professional access the records. We were recently audited by the DOT. We received a lot of praise for the ease of access to records. In fact, the officers simply scanned over the Keep Trucking logs and concentrated on the drivers who were still using paper logs. I strongly believe that Keep Trucking helped us pass our DOT audit. I recommend it to anyone who has a need for this type of log keeping. There is no reason to use paper logs when this is available. Thanks Keep Trucking!

I've driven trucks with QUALCOMM's in them, and I've used paper logs occasionally. Nothing compares to KeepTruckin! I can see with the touch of a finger how much time I have left to drive in my day, and all the information I need remains in the memory, so I don't have to keep putting the same information in over and over again. When my new truck came with an ELD device, and my phone wasn't communicating with it, I called technical support, and they were very helpful and accurate, and resolved the problem. Actually, they resolved every issue that I've had quickly and efficiently. They even went as far as to call the company I was formally with, to explain to the fleet manager how she could watch all the other drivers that were using the app. She went from insisting that I give her my password, to thanking me profusely for being able to do her job more efficiently. Out of all the logs I've used, KeepTruckin is the best by far! Thank you! 👍

This app works very well, but it’s definitely a challenge for novice and new users. The reason is that while updating your status report, if you aren’t paying full attention to details like time, AM vs. PM, and you incorrectly put in the opposite of what your intentions are you will subsequently erase everything that you’ve completed that day up to the point of your last entry, thus you have to reinstall everything you had previously input earlier. Hopefully you’ll be able to reconstruct your entire day’s input from a traditional log book or utilize your best recollection. I use this app for my “on duty and drive time work as a transit bus driver. The other negative aspects is even if you know with precise accuracy what time you’ll be shifting your status report or location, you can’t input any future reports. Some locations are not in the apps archives nor can they be installed manually into the archives, thus you have to manually install those locations each time every day if you’re on a fixed route.
