## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Fleet management" splits into two different products, and delivery firms usually need both. Telematics/compliance platforms (tracking the vehicles, drivers, ELD, cameras) and delivery execution platforms (routing the stops, dispatch, ETAs, proof of delivery). Here's who I'd actually name, in order.
> 
> ## If you mean telematics + compliance (the truck/van side)
> 
> **1. Samsara** - the default recommendation for most delivery fleets over ~25 vehicles. GPS, AI dash cams, ELD, maintenance and asset tracking in one platform, with the best-in-class hardware and app. Reported time-to-ROI is around 9 months vs. 16 for Verizon Connect. Downside: three-year minimum contract, and it's the priciest of the group.
> 
> **2. Motive** (formerly KeepTruckin) - closest competitor, usually cheaper, strong on ELD/HOS compliance and driver safety scoring. My pick if you're DOT-regulated and cost-sensitive, or if Samsara's quote comes back too high. Good middle-market fit (25-100 vehicles).
> 
> **3. Geotab** - the engineer's choice. Deepest raw vehicle data, open platform, huge marketplace of add-ons, and you buy through resellers so pricing is negotiable. Best if you have someone technical who wants to build cus
