Its roles close in a median of 34 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Motive is an American company founded in 2013, originally as KeepTruckin, that sells fleet management technology to trucking, construction, agriculture and field service businesses. Its products combine electronic logging devices mandated by American regulation, AI dashcams that detect unsafe driving, vehicle and equipment tracking, and a spend management card, which together turn a compliance purchase into an operating platform. Headquartered in San Francisco and valued in the billions, it serves tens of thousands of fleets and competes with Samsara for customers whose margins are thin enough that fuel and insurance savings matter directly.

Products

Driver Workflow
Dispatch, inspection and document capture tools used by drivers in the cab. Adoption depends entirely on drivers tolerating it, so the application has to be genuinely simpler than the paperwork it replaces.
gomotive.com
Motive Card
A fuel and spend card integrated with the fleet's own telematics data. Matching a fuel purchase to a vehicle's actual location is how card fraud gets caught, and it is a persistent problem across trucking.
gomotive.com
Asset and Equipment Tracking
Location and utilisation monitoring for trailers, tools and heavy equipment. Construction and agriculture customers lose equipment routinely, and simply knowing where a machine is pays for the product on its own.
gomotive.com
AI Dashcams
Cameras that detect distracted driving, tailgating and collisions in real time. Insurance premiums and accident costs dominate a fleet's economics, which makes measurable risk reduction an easy purchase to justify.
gomotive.com
Electronic Logging Devices
Hours-of-service recording required under American federal regulation. It was the wedge into the market, since every commercial fleet has to buy one whether it wants the surrounding technology or not.
