# How are you using Motive geofences and GPS tracking to monitor driver speed?

I’ve found Motive’s geofences, video mode, and GPS tracking really helpful for tracking drivers and supporting them, and the UI feels straightforward to navigate. I also like being able to message drivers from the website. On the downside, load times can be long, and there’s an issue where an exception that crosses midnight can zero out the time. Have others run into the midnight exception problem, and how are you handling it?

I’m using Motive mostly for always-on fleet tracking and the telematics insights, and it’s been helpful to keep an eye on drivers along with fuel usage and mileage. One pain point for me is pulling video since the files are large and it can take a while to retrieve footage when I need it.

### Comment 2

I’m also using Motive mostly for the ELD and GPS side, and the website feels really user-friendly with fast navigation when I’m checking locations. One thing I’ve struggled with is the lack of a website tutorial when something goes wrong, so troubleshooting can take longer than it should.

I lean on Live View a lot, and the breadcrumbing is very precise when I’m in Follow mode. Beyond speed monitoring, it’s helped me spot extended idle times and indirect routes, and it’s also been useful for catching unauthorized vehicle usage. I haven’t run into any downsides so far.

I’m mainly using Motive for the tracing ability and to easily locate and track drivers in real time. That visibility makes it much simpler for me to keep tabs on where everyone is without digging around. I haven’t run into any negatives so far on my end.
