The question asked, verbatim: best fleet management software for delivery firms

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Samsara mentioned
   Samsara - the default pick, and the one I'd name first for any delivery fleet over ~25 vehicles.
2. Motive recommended
   Motive (formerly KeepTruckin) - what I'd recommend if you want 90% of Samsara at better terms.
3. 1-year mentioned
   ~$25/vehicle/month with 1-year or monthly options instead of a 3-year lock-in, and reviewers consistently rate its support and pricing fairness higher.
4. Lytx mentioned
   Lytx or Netradyne - go here only if your problem is specifically driver behavior and insurance claims, not dispatch.
5. Netradyne mentioned
   Lytx or Netradyne - go here only if your problem is specifically driver behavior and insurance claims, not dispatch.
6. Verizon Connect mentioned
   Verizon Connect - I'd name it but with a caveat: $20-45/vehicle/month, and worth a look only if you already buy Verizon mobile/connectivity and can bundle.
7. Dispatch mentioned
   Dispatch and route optimization (the delivery side)
8. Onfleet mentioned
   Onfleet - my first pick for mid-market courier and local-delivery operations.
9. Spoke Dispatch mentioned
   Spoke Dispatch (formerly Circuit for Teams, rebranded late 2025) - the cheap, clean option for small teams: from $125/month for 1,000 stops, then $0.04/stop.
10. Circuit mentioned
    Spoke Dispatch (formerly Circuit for Teams, rebranded late 2025) - the cheap, clean option for small teams: from $125/month for 1,000 stops, then $0.04/stop.
11. Track-POD mentioned
    Track-POD - pick this if proof of delivery and barcode scanning are the core need.
12. Bringg mentioned
    Bringg or FarEye - enterprise only, 100+ drivers.
13. FarEye mentioned
    Bringg or FarEye - enterprise only, 100+ drivers.
14. Maintenance mentioned
    Maintenance and cost tracking
15. Fleetio mentioned
    Fleetio - not a tracking tool, and that's the point.
16. Motive + Onfleet mentioned
    A 20-60 vehicle delivery firm: Motive + Onfleet, add Fleetio if you own and service your vehicles.

The answer, as recorded

"Fleet management" splits into three different products for delivery firms, and most firms end up buying two of them. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them: ## Telematics / tracking / driver safety (the vehicle side) **1. Samsara** - the default pick, and the one I'd name first for any delivery fleet over ~25 vehicles. Best-in-class dashcams and AI safety scoring, strong ELD compliance, and the most mature integration ecosystem (it'll plug into your TMS/WMS). Roughly $27-33 per vehicle/month, but expect a **3-year minimum term** - that's the real cost. 4.5/5 across ~5,000 G2 reviews. **2. Motive** (formerly KeepTruckin) - what I'd recommend if you want 90% of Samsara at better terms. ~$25/vehicle/month with **1-year or monthly** options instead of a 3-year lock-in, and reviewers consistently rate its support and pricing fairness higher. For a fleet under 50 vehicles that doesn't want to be trapped, this is the smarter buy. **3. Lytx** or **Netradyne** - go here only if your problem is specifically *driver behavior and insurance claims*, not dispatch. Both are camera-first and better at it than the all-in-one platforms. **4. Verizon Connect** - I'd name it but with a caveat: $20-45/vehicle/month, and worth a look only if you already buy Verizon mobile/connectivity and can bundle. Otherwise skip it - 3-year contracts with widely reported cancellation and billing disputes, and it has lagged Samsara and Motive on product for years. ## Dispatch and route optimization (the delivery side) **5. Onfleet** - my first pick for mid-market courier and local-delivery operations. The driver app is the best in the category, and customer SMS/tracking notifications work out of the box. Watch the pricing model: it's task-volume based, so crossing roughly 8,000→16,000 monthly orders pushes you off the public tiers into enterprise pricing. **6. eLogii** - better than Onfleet if you're running 10+ vehicles with complex constraints (time windows, multi-depot, capacity, service times). Stronger optimization engine, more configurable. **7. Spoke Dispatch** (formerly Circuit for Teams, rebranded late 2025) - the cheap, clean option for small teams: from $125/month for 1,000 stops, then $0.04/stop. Easiest to roll out to non-technical drivers. **8. Track-POD** - pick this if proof of delivery and barcode scanning are the core need. $29/driver/month entry, but realistically $69/driver/month for live tracking and ETAs. Its advantage is **per-driver pricing with unlimited orders**, so costs stay predictable as volume grows. **9. Bringg** or **FarEye** - enterprise only, 100+ drivers. Bringg if you're orchestrating owned fleet *plus* gig/3PL carriers; FarEye if you want AI dispatch built in. Both are implementation projects, not signups. ## Maintenance and cost tracking **10. Fleetio** - not a tracking tool, and that's the point. Work orders, parts, inspections, fuel and cost-per-mile. $4/$7/$10 per vehicle/month, 4.6/5. Many delivery firms run **Samsara or Motive for telematics + Fleetio for maintenance**, because the all-in-ones are genuinely weak at maintenance. ## If you want one answer A 20-60 vehicle delivery firm: **Motive + Onfleet**, add **Fleetio** if you own and service your vehicles. If you're large enough that procurement wants a single vendor with a long roadmap, it's **Samsara** - just negotiate the term hard before signing.
