Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n## If your problem is vehicles and drivers (telematics)\n\n**1. Samsara** - My default recommendation for anything above ~25 vehicles. Best-in-class hardware (GPS refreshes every second vs. the 30-second intervals typical elsewhere), AI dashcams, maintenance, and by far the deepest integration ecosystem, which matters when you need to wire it into a WMS or TMS. Roughly $27-33/vehicle/month, but expect a 36-month contract with auto-renewal. Rated 4.5/5 across ~3,200 G2 reviews.\n\n**2. Motive** - The one I'd pick for smaller or newer fleets, and for anyone who doesn't want to be locked in. Similar ELD/dashcam capability (its AI Dashcam Plus has the gateway built into the camera, so installs take under 10 minutes, and it flags behaviors Samsara misses like lane swerving), $25-50/vehicle/month, and critically, **12-month terms** instead of three years.
