Motive ELD: Driver Guide

About the Training

Operating the Motive ELD correctly is the foundation of daily compliance. This training walks drivers through the app — logging in, changing duty status, certifying logs, and transferring records during a roadside inspection — so the device works for them, not against them.

What You'll Learn

  • Navigate the Motive ELD app to change duty status and certify logs
  • Use the correct driver ID so events record to the right profile
  • Transfer logs to an officer during a roadside inspection
  • Identify the Motive features that support daily HOS compliance
