Motive, once known as KeepTruckin, is a fleet operations platform for trucking, construction, oil and gas, and field service companies. Its vehicle gateways and ELDs record hours of service, location, engine data and fault codes. Drivers complete DVIRs in the Motive Driver app, and AI dashcams flag unsafe driving. Fleet managers, safety teams and workshop leads all use it, each for different reasons. Getting a joined-up answer means switching between their views and stitching the results together.
Agentic CMMS gives Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents access to Motive. Your team asks about trucks, drivers and defects in plain words, and the agent gathers the facts from across the account.
What your AI agent can do with Motive
- Close out DVIR defects. "Which DVIR defects from the last week are still open, and which trucks have more than one?"
- Read fault codes. "List active fault codes on the tractor fleet, most frequent first."
- Track engine hours. "Which yard trucks logged the most engine hours this month?"
- Check available hours. "Which drivers in the Midlands group can still drive four hours today?"
- Review safety events. "Summarise harsh braking and speeding events per driver this month, worst first."
- Find a truck. "Where is unit 508, and when did it last leave the yard?"
- Spot idle assets. "Which trailers have not moved in 14 days?" Useful before you hire extra trailers for a busy week.
- Check a vehicle before dispatch. "Does truck 412 have any open defects or active fault codes?" The agent gives a yes or no, then the detail behind it.
Motive with your other systems
- Raise a repair in Fleetio for every open DVIR defect, with the driver's comment and the odometer reading.
- See trucks tracked in Motive alongside equipment in Samsara or vans in Geotab when different divisions use different providers.
- Post the morning list of trucks with open defects to the workshop channel in Slack before the first load goes out.
- Compare engine hours from Motive with the service history in Fleetio, and list the trucks that have run longest without a visit to the shop.
For the workshop and the safety office
Motive data serves two teams with different needs. The workshop wants defects, fault codes and engine hours so it can plan repairs before a roadside breakdown. The safety office wants driving events and hours of service so it can coach drivers and stay compliant. One platform, two audiences.
Tool permissions let you give each team only what it needs: the workshop sees vehicles, the safety office sees drivers, and you choose who sees both. Each person approves their own agent, and every request lands in the activity log.
