    A question for those of you either owning or driving for a company, using Motive. Recently, the company has updated the parameters that monitor cell phone usage.

    Before, if your phone was mounted, and you interacted with it, you would not receive a distracted, driving warning recently that has changed and drivers are receiving distracted, driving warnings, and their driving scores are being reduced anyone come across this?

    I don’t allow motive to track my phone . The motive box in the truck has its own wifi plan and knows where it is .. btw the motive safety score is so bad the boss doesn’t use it .. He’s a driver with 30 plus years safe driving and racked up a pile of fake speeding violations because motive constantly has the wrong speed . Plus it dings you for a hard brake when you safely stop for a yellow light but is okay if you run a red light as long as you don’t touch the brake pedal..

    I had Motive snitch on me for a "Hard cornering" event. When the boss showed me the video, I was driving on an Interstate on a long stretch that was straight as a arrow.

    Thanks for sharing your experience, yeah it’s an ok system without the AI, but it seems lately the techies there are trying to “monitor” driving behaviors without understanding the environment.

    Unfortunately so many people in these companies get CDL’s and think they understand truck driving, it’s like they can’t get beyond themselves to spend some of their venture capital and hire a million or two million miler to advice them…but they shell out on other consulting fees. Drives me cray sometimes.
