Case Study: Harms Pacific Transport Inc achieves paperless DOT audits with Motive

For an award winning fleet hauling hazardous chemicals, compliance with the FMCSA is paramount

Harms Pacific Transport Inc, a 25‑truck, 50‑trailer fleet that hauls hazardous chemicals, faced FMCSA Hours‑of‑Service (HOS) compliance issues and an overwhelming volume of paper logs after a problematic DOT audit. To address these challenges, Harms evaluated several options and selected Motive’s electronic logging solution to replace paper logbooks and improve compliance visibility.

Motive’s easy‑to‑use ELD app eliminated paper logs, reliably caught prior HOS violations (including support for Canadian HOS rules), and provided real‑time notifications to drivers and safety managers. As a result, Motive reduced paperwork overhead, increased visibility into driver activity, streamlined operations, and cut the time the safety department spends auditing to a fraction of what it was, while turning initial driver skeptics into loyal users.
