The Motive Driver App is designed to simplify the recording of Hours of Service (HOS) for commercial drivers using Android devices. It adheres to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, specifically those set forth in Part 395. When paired with the Motive Vehicle Gateway, the app enables both fleets and individual drivers to comply with the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate necessary for regulated driving. The app also aligns with the current regulations regarding HOS in Canada, making it suitable for drivers operating in both the U.S. and Canada.
Using Bluetooth technology, the Motive Driver App connects seamlessly with the Motive Vehicle Gateway to facilitate compliance with ELD requirements. It features proactive notifications that alert drivers when they are nearing their maximum driving time, helping to prevent violations of HOS rules. The app provides a comprehensive overview of both total hours worked for the week and available driving time for current and subsequent days. Additionally, it includes an Inspection Mode that allows drivers to present ELD logs to enforcement officers during roadside inspections, maintaining driver privacy throughout the process.
The app offers several tools related to tracking and telematics. Once a driver is dispatched, GPS location data is uploaded to the Motive Fleet Dashboard, providing real-time updates to dispatchers and fleet managers about the driver's stops and arrivals. The Motive Driver App also promotes driver safety by allowing users to review dashcam footage and analyze driving performance through safety event reviews and risk scoring relative to the entire Motive network.
In terms of dispatch and workflow features, drivers can receive and confirm dispatches, access vital load details, and manage ongoing delivery tasks directly through the app. It also supports the upload of essential documents like bills of lading or accident reports for efficient record-keeping. Furthermore, drivers can complete pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspection reports to stay on top of vehicle maintenance. To enhance sustainability practices, the app allows users to upload fuel receipts to generate fuel reports for better route planning and expense tracking. Users can always access 24/7 support for any inquiries or assistance needed, ensuring a comprehensive solution for drivers in multiple industries, such as trucking, logistics, and construction.
