Hours, Inspections, and Messages

  • ELD with 100+ HOS rulesets

Built For The Roadside Inspection

Logs Sent to the Officer in One Click

When a driver gets waved in at an inspection, the app sends the logs to the officer with one click.

Logs still display with no signal, PIN protection keeps data private, and everything syncs when coverage returns. The same app also handles digital DVIRs for student transport.

Small Features Drivers Stop Noticing Because They Always Work

  • Walk-away prompt. Leave the vehicle while still assigned, the app asks if you meant to.
  • False log fix. Another driver's stray log on your vehicle? Flag and ignore it without calling the office.
  • One-tap replies. Standard responses let a driver acknowledge dispatch without typing at a job site.
  • Messages with cargo. Dispatch can attach routes, zones, and links, not just text.
  • Four languages. English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, per driver.
  • Reset warnings. The app warns before a driver accidentally interrupts a shift or cycle reset.

Records are complete and consistent when DOT asks.

See it in the Drive app
Less back-and-forth

Drivers, dispatch, and office all see the same information.

Drivers actually use it

One app for the day beats a folder of paper and three logins.

In The Cab

One Login for Assignment, Inspections, Hours, and Messages

Clock in and the app assigns the vehicle, walks the pre-trip inspection, tracks hours as the driver rolls, surfaces the day's messages, then closes with a post-trip inspection at logout. One login covers all of it, and the electronic logbook is already there the day regulations require one.

Drivers See Their Own Safety Score

A Safety tile sits right on the Drive dashboard: each driver's collision risk, trend, and where to improve. No ambush at review time: the driver watches the same number the fleet does, and the trend moves while the habits are still fresh.

Questions

Geotab Drive App FAQ

What does the Geotab Drive app do?

It combines electronic driver logs, vehicle inspections, and driver messaging in one app on a phone or tablet.

Is it ELD compliant?

Yes. The app meets the federal (FMCSA) electronic-logging rules and keeps audit-ready records for the office.

Do drivers need special hardware?

A supported phone or tablet paired with the Plug-N-Play tracker in the vehicle is all that is required.

We run mixed operations: some long-haul, some short-haul, some farm-exempt. Can one app handle that?

Yes. Each driver is assigned their own ruleset, so long-haul, short-haul, and farm-exempt drivers run correctly side by side in the same fleet, co-drivers and team driving included.

What happens when a driver loses cell coverage?

The app keeps working and syncs when coverage returns. For dead-zone-heavy routes, a direct cable to the tracker keeps the logbook running fully offline. Roadside inspections have their own out-of-coverage display mode.

Do Spanish-speaking drivers get the app in Spanish?

Yes. English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese are all supported, set per driver.

“We were in need of a more affordable smartphone-based solution moving from AOBRD to ELD. After considerable testing, Geotab Drive was the clear winner. Your all-in-one driver platform for Hours of Service, Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting, and Driver ID exceeded our needs in withstanding the many challenges our workers face in the field. Our drivers found it easy-to-use, and the system works across all our different types of trucks. We use it 24/7.”
