What the Motive Fleet Dashboard Actually Gives You

The motive fleet dashboard is the administrative control center for the entire Motive platform. It’s not just a place to check on drivers. It’s where compliance gets managed, where violations get caught before they become fines, and where your fleet data turns into something you can act on.

When you log in through gomotive.com, you land in a workspace that connects drivers, vehicles, devices, and regulatory records in one place. Owner-operators managing a handful of trucks use it the same way that logistics managers overseeing 200-vehicle fleets do. The scale differs; the workflows don’t.

Core Dashboard Sections and What They Control

Dashboard Section	What You Manage There
Live Map	Real-time vehicle locations, active trips, geofence alerts
Drivers	Driver profiles, HOS logs, violations, ELD assignments
Vehicles	Vehicle records, odometer data, ELD device pairing, maintenance
Compliance	HOS reports, DVIR logs, unidentified driving, rule set assignments
Dispatch	Load assignments, driver messaging, route tracking
Safety	Driver safety scores, dashcam footage (if equipped), coaching
Reporting	IFTA fuel tax reports, mileage summaries, DOT audit log exports
Admin	User accounts, role assignments, billing, integrations, account settings

Fleet admins with super admin access see all of these sections. Dispatchers and fleet managers see a narrowed version based on the permissions assigned to their accounts. This matters when you’re troubleshooting why a team member can’t find a specific report.

Key takeaway: The motive fleet dashboard is the first thing you'll use every morning and the last thing you'll check before a compliance deadline. Getting comfortable with its layout saves real time.

How to Access the Motive Dashboard Login

Getting into the motive fleet dashboard follows a straightforward process. That said, there are a few steps where first-time admins or those returning after a long break tend to get stuck. Walk through this carefully the first time.

Step-by-Step: Motive Dashboard Login

Open a browser and go to gomotive.com.

The official login page is at gomotive.com. Bookmark this URL. Avoid searching for the login page every time since search results sometimes surface third-party sites.

Click "Log In" in the top right corner.

This takes you to the credential entry screen.

Enter your admin email address.

This is the email that was used when your account was created or when you were invited by a super admin. If your company transitioned from KeepTruckin, the same email address typically carries over.

Enter your password.

If you're logging in for the first time, use the temporary password from your invite email and you'll be prompted to create a new one immediately.

Complete two-factor authentication (2FA) if enabled.

Motive supports 2FA via SMS or an authenticator app. Enter the code sent to your registered number or generated by your app. Codes expire quickly, so enter them within 30 seconds.

Land on the fleet dashboard home screen.

After authentication, you'll arrive at the main dashboard view. The left-side navigation panel gives you access to every section.

Motive Fleet Dashboard Login on Mobile

You can access a version of the motive fleet dashboard through the Motive App on iOS and Android. The mobile interface is designed for dispatchers and drivers, not for deep administrative work. It shows live map views, driver status, and basic HOS data. For admin tasks like editing user roles, exporting DOT audit logs, or configuring ELD rule sets, use the full web dashboard on a desktop or laptop browser.

Single Sign-On (SSO) Access

Larger motor carriers with enterprise accounts sometimes configure SSO through their identity provider. In that case, the motive fleet dashboard sign in process routes through your company’s authentication system rather than a direct Motive password. Contact your IT administrator if you’re not sure which login method your organization uses.

Navigating the Motive Fleet Dashboard: Section by Section

Once you’re inside the dashboard motive, the left navigation panel is your primary tool. It doesn’t change between sessions, which makes it worth learning well. New admins often miss the difference between what’s under “Compliance” versus what’s under “Drivers,” and end up hunting for reports in the wrong place.

The Live Map View

The live map is typically the default landing screen after login. It shows every active vehicle’s current GPS position, updated in near real-time. You can click on any vehicle marker to see the driver’s name, current HOS status, speed, and last check-in time.

Geofence alerts appear here too, provided you’ve set them up under Admin > Fleet > Geofences. If a vehicle crosses a boundary outside of an approved route or delivery zone, the event gets logged and can trigger a notification.

Important: The map is useful for dispatch decisions, but it's not a compliance tool. Don't rely on it for HOS monitoring. Use the Compliance section for that.

The Drivers Tab

The Drivers section shows every driver profile in your account. From here you can:

View a driver's current HOS status and available hours
Open their daily log for a specific date
Check for violations flagged by the system
Send the driver a message through the Motive platform
Edit driver profile details like license number, home terminal, or ELD rule set

Note: Driver HOS logs are under Drivers > [Driver Name] > Logs, not under the Compliance tab. The Compliance section gives you fleet-wide reports. Individual driver logs live under their profile.

The Vehicles Tab

The Vehicles section lists every asset in your fleet. Each vehicle record shows the VIN, make and model, assigned ELD device, current odometer reading (synced from the device), and active driver assignment.

This is also where you reassign ELD devices when a truck goes to the shop or gets swapped between terminals. Pairing and unpairing devices happens under Vehicles > [Vehicle Name] > Devices.

The Compliance Section

The Compliance section is where you’ll spend time before audits. It contains:

HOS Violations: A filterable list of every HOS rule violation across your fleet for a selected date range.
Unidentified Driving: Trips logged by the ELD that haven't been claimed by a driver. You need to resolve these regularly. Unidentified driving that stays unassigned can create audit problems.
DVIR Logs: Pre-trip and post-trip inspection records submitted by drivers through the Motive App.
Driver Logs: Searchable log history for individual drivers or by date range.
DOT Audit Export: A formatted export of driver logs that meets FMCSA requirements for roadside inspections or audits.

Managing Drivers from the Dashboard

Driver management is one of the most frequent tasks in the motive fleet dashboard. Adding a new driver, reassigning vehicles, and correcting log errors all happen here.

Adding a New Driver

Go to Admin > Users > Add User.
Enter the driver's name, email address, and phone number.
Select Driver as the role.
Assign the appropriate HOS rule set. Options include US 60-hour/7-day, US 70-hour/8-day, Canada South, Canada North, and Short-Haul exemption. Select the wrong rule set and the driver's available hours will calculate incorrectly.
Assign a home terminal if your account uses multiple terminals.
Send the invite. The driver receives an email to download the Motive App and set up their credentials.

Editing Driver Log Entries

Admins and fleet managers with the right permissions can suggest edits to driver logs when a mistake is identified. The driver must accept any suggested edit. Admins cannot unilaterally change a submitted log without driver acknowledgment, which is consistent with FMCSA requirements.

To suggest an edit: go to Drivers > [Driver Name] > Logs > [Date] > Edit Log. Flag the specific duty status segment and add a note explaining the reason for the change. The driver gets a notification in the Motive App.

Removing Driver Access

When a driver leaves the company, disable their account promptly. Go to Admin > Users > [Driver Name] > Deactivate. This removes their dashboard and app access without deleting their log history, which you may need for compliance purposes later.

Vehicle and ELD Management in the Fleet Dashboard

Configuring ELD devices correctly in the dashboard motive is non-negotiable for DOT compliance. A device that’s assigned to the wrong vehicle, paired incorrectly, or running outdated firmware creates log accuracy problems that are difficult to explain during a roadside inspection.

Assigning an ELD Device to a Vehicle

Go to Vehicles in the left navigation panel.
Select the vehicle you want to configure.
Click Devices on the vehicle detail page.
Select Add Device and enter the device serial number or scan the barcode on the Motive ELD or Motive Gateway unit.
Confirm the pairing. The device will appear as "Connected" once the truck's ignition is on and the device has established a data connection.

Warning: Each vehicle should have exactly one active ELD device assigned. If a device shows as assigned to two vehicles, that's a data error that needs immediate correction.

Setting HOS Rule Sets

HOS rule sets are set per driver, not per vehicle. Go to Drivers > [Driver Name] > Edit Profile > HOS Rules and select the appropriate rule set. If a driver operates in both the US and Canada during the same trip, contact Motive support to confirm how to handle rule set transitions since this varies by account configuration.

Verifying Device Connectivity

A device that’s assigned but showing as “Disconnected” in the dashboard won’t log driving time. Check connectivity under Vehicles > [Vehicle Name] > Devices > Status. Common causes of disconnection include a loose OBD-II or J1939 cable connection, a power issue in the vehicle, or a cellular signal gap that hasn’t resolved.

Compliance risk: If the device shows "Disconnected" for more than 24 hours while the truck is operating, that's a compliance risk. Address it before the vehicle runs again.

HOS Compliance and Reporting Tools

The gomotive dashboard compliance tools exist specifically to keep motor carriers audit-ready. Knowing how to use them before you need them makes a material difference when a DOT inspector asks for records on the spot.

Running an HOS Violation Report

Go to Compliance > HOS Violations.
Set your date range. Running a rolling 30-day report at the start of each month gives you a useful compliance baseline.
Filter by driver, vehicle group, or violation type (cycle limit exceeded, rest break missed, etc.).
Export the report as a CSV or PDF for your records.

Context matters: Violations flagged in this report don't automatically mean fines. Many are informational flags for exceeding hours by small margins or for log editing patterns. Review them with context and address patterns rather than one-off events.

Exporting DOT Audit Logs

When a driver is pulled over for a roadside inspection, inspectors may request electronic logs. Drivers can transfer logs directly from the Motive App. As an admin, you can also export certified log records from the dashboard.

Go to Compliance > Driver Logs > [Driver Name] > Export. Select the date range (typically eight days of logs is the standard request) and download the output file. The export format meets FMCSA electronic logging standards.

IFTA Reporting

Fleet admins handling fuel tax reporting will find IFTA data under Reporting > IFTA. The dashboard motive calculates mileage by jurisdiction automatically based on GPS tracking data. Verify that all vehicles have accurate odometer readings and that no trips are missing before generating quarterly IFTA reports.

User Roles: Who Can See What in the Dashboard

Motive uses a tiered permission system. Getting roles right matters. Assign too much access and dispatchers can accidentally edit compliance records. Assign too little and fleet managers can’t pull the reports they need to do their jobs.

Permission Level Comparison

FEATURE	SUPER ADMIN	FLEET MANAGER	DISPATCHER	DRIVER
Add/remove users	Yes	No	No	No
Edit driver logs	Yes	Yes (with limits)	No	Own logs only
Access billing & plan	Yes	No	No	No
View live map	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Export DOT audit logs	Yes	Yes	No	No
Manage ELD devices	Yes	Yes	No	No
Send dispatch messages	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
View safety scores	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Configure geofences	Yes	Yes	No	No
Access IFTA reports	Yes	Limited	No	No

Security advisory: Super admin accounts are the only accounts with full billing access and the ability to add or remove other admins. Protect super admin credentials carefully. Treat them the same way you'd treat access to your company's bank account.

Adding a New User and Assigning a Role

Go to Admin > Users > Add User.
Enter the user's name, email, and phone number.
Select their role from the dropdown: Super Admin, Fleet Manager, Dispatcher, or Driver.
If your account uses multiple terminals or vehicle groups, assign the user to the relevant group to limit their view to their assigned fleet segment.
Send the invite. The user sets their own password through the invite email.

Adjusting Permissions for an Existing User

Some role customizations are available under Admin > Users > [User Name] > Edit Permissions. The degree of customization depends on your Motive plan tier. Enterprise accounts typically have more granular permission options than standard fleet plans.

Troubleshooting the Motive Fleet Dashboard

Even in a well-configured account, problems come up. These are the issues that get reported most often, and how to address them directly.

Use Vehicle Groups for Large Fleets

If you manage trucks across more than one terminal or region, set up vehicle groups under Admin > Fleet > Groups. Assign vehicles and drivers to each group, then assign your fleet managers to only the group they oversee. This prevents a terminal manager in Dallas from accidentally editing a driver's log assigned to your Chicago operation. Groups also make filtering in reports much faster.

Bulk HOS Rule Set Updates

When regulations change or you onboard a batch of new drivers all running the same route type, you don't have to update each driver profile individually. Go to Admin > Drivers > Select All (filtered list) > Edit HOS Rules to apply a rule set change across multiple drivers at once. Confirm the selection carefully before saving.

Set Up Compliance Alerts

The motive fleet dashboard can send email or SMS alerts when specific events occur. Set these up under Admin > Notifications. Useful alerts include: HOS violation detected, unidentified driving logged, driver approaching cycle limit, and ELD device disconnected. Getting the "approaching cycle limit" alert gives you time to adjust dispatch plans before a driver goes out of service.

API Integrations with TMS Platforms

If your company uses a Transportation Management System (TMS), Motive offers API integration that can push driver location and HOS data directly into your TMS. Setup happens under Admin > Integrations. This eliminates manual data entry between systems and reduces the chance of dispatch decisions being made on stale HOS information.

Pro Tips for Experienced Fleet Administrators

If you’ve been running the motive fleet dashboard for a while, a few less-obvious features can save meaningful time.

Forgot Admin Password

Go to gomotive.com and click “Log In,” then select “Forgot Password.” Enter your admin email address and Motive will send a reset link. The link expires in 24 hours. If you no longer have access to the email address on the account, contact Motive support directly. They’ll require identity verification before resetting credentials on an admin account.

Account Locked After Failed Login Attempts

Motive locks accounts after several consecutive failed login attempts as a security measure. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try again, or use the password reset flow to unlock the account immediately. If you share admin credentials with another team member (not recommended), a lockout is often caused by someone on the other end repeatedly attempting to log in with an outdated password. Set up individual accounts for each admin to avoid this situation.

Two-Factor Authentication Problems

If you’re not receiving 2FA SMS codes, check that your phone number on file is correct under Admin > [Your Profile] > Security. If you’ve changed phone numbers since setting up 2FA and can’t receive the code, contact Motive support with your account email to go through identity verification and reset your 2FA method. If you use an authenticator app and the codes aren’t working, confirm your phone’s clock is set to sync automatically. A clock that’s even a few minutes off generates invalid codes.

Permission Errors: Missing Menus or Reports

If a fleet manager or dispatcher reports that they can’t see a section that should be visible to them, check their role assignment first. Go to Admin > Users > [User Name] and confirm the role is set correctly. If the role is right but sections are still missing, check whether the user is assigned to a vehicle group that’s too narrow. A dispatcher assigned only to “Terminal B” won’t see data for vehicles in Terminal A, even if those vehicles appear on their account technically.

ELD Device Not Syncing to Dashboard

A driver’s ELD shows data on their Motive App, but the logs aren’t appearing in the admin dashboard. This typically points to a data sync delay or a connectivity issue between the device and Motive’s servers. Check the device status under Vehicles > [Vehicle Name] > Devices. If it shows “Connected” but logs are still missing after 30 minutes, ask the driver to open the Motive App and manually sync by pulling down on the log screen. If that doesn’t resolve it, submit a support ticket with the vehicle name, driver name, and the dates of missing logs.

Contacting Motive Support for Admin Account Issues

For account-level issues that can’t be resolved through the dashboard (locked accounts, SSO problems, billing errors), contact Motive directly through gomotive.com. You can reach Motive support via live chat, phone, or email ticket. For account-critical issues like locked super admin access, phone support is faster than ticket submission. For additional login troubleshooting guidance, read our fixing Motive admin login errors resource on motivelogin.com.

Official Dashboard Access

Always access your Motive account directly through the official portal. Never use third-party login pages.

The official motive fleet dashboard sign in page is at gomotive.com. Click “Log In” from the homepage. Do not use third-party login pages. motivelogin.com is an independent informational resource. For actual account access, always go to gomotive.com directly.

What can I do in the Motive fleet dashboard as an admin?

As a fleet admin, you can manage driver and vehicle profiles, configure ELD device assignments, set HOS rule sets for each driver, view real-time GPS tracking, run compliance reports, export DOT audit logs, review DVIR records, manage user roles and permissions, and access IFTA reporting. Super admins also control billing and can add or remove other admin users.

How do I reset my Motive admin password?

Go to gomotive.com, click “Log In,” and select “Forgot Password.” Enter your admin email address and Motive will send a reset link to that inbox. The link is time-limited, so complete the reset within 24 hours. If you’ve lost access to your admin email, contact Motive support with your account details to go through identity verification.

What's the difference between a Motive super admin and a fleet manager?

A super admin has full account access including billing, adding or removing users, and all administrative functions. A fleet manager can view compliance data, manage driver logs, and handle ELD configuration but cannot access billing, create other admin accounts, or make account-level changes. For most daily operations, fleet manager access is appropriate. Super admin credentials should be limited to as few people as possible.

How do I set up two-factor authentication for my Motive admin account?

Go to your account profile settings in the gomotive dashboard (click your name or avatar in the top right corner, then select “Security”). From there, you can enable 2FA via SMS or an authenticator app. Authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Authy are more reliable than SMS for admins who travel or work in areas with inconsistent cell service.

Can I access the Motive fleet dashboard on a mobile device?

You can access a limited version through the Motive App on iOS and Android. The mobile app covers live map tracking, basic driver status, and HOS overviews. Full administrative tasks like ELD device configuration, IFTA reporting, DOT audit log exports, and user role management require the full web dashboard accessed through a desktop or laptop browser at gomotive.com.

How do I add a driver in the Motive admin panel?

Go to Admin > Users > Add User in the gomotive dashboard. Enter the driver’s name, email, and phone number, select the Driver role, choose the correct HOS rule set (US 60/70, Canada South/North, or Short-Haul exemption), and send the invite. The driver receives an email with instructions to download the Motive App and create their account.

What is the KeepTruckin admin login and does it still work?

KeepTruckin was the former name of the Motive platform before the rebrand. The login URL and credentials from KeepTruckin accounts were migrated to gomotive.com. If your company used KeepTruckin, your admin email and password should work at the gomotive.com login page. If you run into access issues with a legacy KeepTruckin admin login, contact Motive support to confirm your account status and migration details.

How do I export DOT audit logs from the Motive fleet dashboard?

Go to Compliance > Driver Logs, select the driver, and choose a date range. Click Export and select the output format. The exported file meets FMCSA electronic logging requirements for roadside inspections and DOT audits. For a fleet-wide export covering multiple drivers, filter by date range in the Compliance section and use the bulk export option if available in your plan tier.

Ready to Master Your Fleet Dashboard?

The motive fleet dashboard is a serious operational tool, and it rewards the admins who take the time to learn it properly. Understanding where driver logs live versus compliance reports, how permission levels affect what your team can access, and how to catch ELD sync problems before they become audit issues — these are the things that separate reactive fleet management from proactive compliance.

Set up your user roles correctly from the start. Configure 2FA on every admin account. Keep device assignments clean and current. Run a monthly HOS violation report before problems accumulate. These habits keep your fleet audit-ready without last-minute scrambling.
