Case Study: JMS Transportation cuts accidents and HOS violations with Motive

JMS Transportation cuts accident rate in half with Motive

JMS Transportation, a family-run Midwest fleet with more than 100 vehicles and around 800 trailers, was facing a major ELD deadline and needed a better way to manage compliance and driver safety. Its previous provider required disruptive hardware upgrades and manual reporting, while the company’s reactive coaching process wasn’t preventing unsafe driving events. Motive helped JMS Transportation replace that approach with a simpler, more scalable solution using ELDs, AI Dashcams, and Asset Gateways.

With Motive, JMS Transportation gained proactive compliance alerts, in-cab safety coaching, and better trailer visibility. The results were strong: accident rates fell by at least 50%, HOS violations dropped by 86%, and asset management improved by 30%. Motive also saved the safety team hours of manual video review each day, reduced repair costs, and even helped clear a driver after a serious accident by providing dashcam footage.
