Here's who I'd actually name, in order.\n\n## Telematics & vehicle management\n\n**1. Samsara** - my default for anything mid-size or larger, especially if you run heavy vehicles or mixed assets. One platform for vehicles, equipment, and sites, with the deepest integration ecosystem of the three, so it plays nicely with your WMS/ERP. Caveat: pricing runs ~$27-33/vehicle/month and they push 36-month contracts. ([oxmaint comparison](https://oxmaint.com/industries/fleet-management/samsara-geotab-motive-telematics-comparison-fleet-2026), [airpinpoint](https://airpinpoint.com/compare/samsara-vs-motive))\n\n**2. Motive** - what I'd pick for a small or growing fleet, and for anyone whose pain is FMCSA compliance. Deepest ELD heritage, built around trucking HOS workflow and audit readiness, roughly $25-50/vehicle/month but with 12-month minimums and month-to-month available on base ELD plans.
