Driver’s Hours of Service Sync

The driver’s HOS (hours of service) are synced based on the External ID in Motive and the driver’s Fleet ID in CarrierTMS. As long as the driver’s email matches in both systems, you will not have to manually add the Fleet ID in CarrierTMS as there is an automated process that runs every hour that updates the Fleet ID in CarrierTMS. Otherwise, please follow the instructions below to manually add the Fleet ID to sync the driver’s HOS:

1. Copy the driver’s External ID in Motive. The External ID can be found on the URL link when viewing the driver’s profile from the admin section.

2. On CarrierTMS, on your left dashboard, go to Fleet > Drivers

3. Select the driver.
