## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> **Short version: for most trades businesses I'd start with Verizon Connect or Samsara if you just want tracking, Fleetio if your pain is maintenance, and ServiceTitan Fleet Pro if you're already on ServiceTitan.** Here's the order I'd actually work through:
> 
> **1. Verizon Connect Reveal** - The default recommendation for a mixed van fleet (5-50 vehicles). Bundles hardware and software into one monthly per-vehicle fee, coverage is reliable basically everywhere, and it goes beyond GPS into mobile workforce/timesheet stuff that trades actually use. It's the "nobody gets fired for picking it" option.
> 
> **2. Samsara** - Pick this over Verizon if driver safety and insurance costs are your real problem. The AI dash cams and driver coaching are the best in the category, and it's one platform for vehicles, equipment, and site cameras. Downside: premium pricing, hardware cost separate from license, and typically a 36-month contract. Overbuilt if you have four trucks.
> 
> **3. Motive** (formerly KeepTruckin) - The pragmatic middle. Comparable dash cam accuracy to Samsara, but it offers month-to-month on base plans instead of locking you into three years. That contract flexibility is the whole reas
