Motive handles DQ files as part of a full fleet platform.
GoExpirely does only that.
If you already run Motive for ELDs and dashcams, its Workforce Management tools may be all you need. If you just want a warning before any CDL, medical card or MVR date passes, without hardware or a sales call, that's GoExpirely.
Start free trial — no credit cardFleet platform: telematics + compliance
Motive (formerly KeepTruckin) combines GPS, ELD and hours of service, dashcams and driver coaching with Workforce Management tools for qualification documents, MVRs and expiration alerts. Workforce Management is added to a Motive subscription through their sales team.
Best for: fleets that want telematics and driver compliance in one platform.
Expiration alerts, nothing else
GoExpirely tracks the expiration dates of driver and vehicle documents (CDLs, DOT medical certificates, MVRs, annual inspections, insurance) and emails you 30, 15, 7 and 1 day before each one, and on the day it expires.
Best for: small fleets that don't need telematics and want a public price with no sales call.

GoExpirely vs Motive FAQ
Does Motive's platform automate DQ file renewal reminders and expiration alerts?
Yes. Motive's Workforce Management stores qualification documents with their expiration dates and sends alerts before they expire, by email, in the Fleet Dashboard and in the Driver App. It can also order MVRs and keep drivers with expired paperwork from operating. GoExpirely covers the alert part on its own: email reminders 30, 15, 7 and 1 day before each date, with no fleet platform around it.
What are the pros and cons of Motive for driver qualification management?
Pros: DQ files live next to your ELD logs, GPS and dashcam data; MVRs can be ordered from the same dashboard; AI reads uploaded documents; and drivers with expired paperwork can be blocked automatically. Cons for a small fleet: it's part of a larger platform added through a Motive sales rep, and pricing isn't published. If you don't need telematics, you're buying into more system than the job requires.
When does GoExpirely make more sense than Motive?
When the only problem you're solving is "don't let a CDL, medical card, MVR or other document expire without someone noticing". GoExpirely has a public price ($79/month for up to 25 drivers and vehicles), a 15-day trial with no card, and no hardware. If you already pay for Motive with Workforce Management, you probably don't need us.
How much does GoExpirely cost compared to Motive?
GoExpirely costs $79/month for up to 25 drivers and vehicles, or $149/month for up to 100. Motive doesn't list prices on its website; its pricing page sends you to a contact form for a quote.
Can I use GoExpirely and Motive at the same time?
Yes, but they don't connect: GoExpirely has no Motive integration today, so driver documents would live in GoExpirely while logs and GPS stay in Motive.
