Add Motive asset IDs to individual assets

Before beginning this step, you'll need to have your trucks and trailers set up in the Alvys system.

Find the Assets option in the left menu and select either trucks or trailers depending on what you need to set up. From the list of assets, find and double-click the asset you want to configure. This will open the Edit Asset page.

On the asset page, scroll down to find the ELD Integrations section and click the blue Add Integration button. In the Add Integration window, click the drop-down menu and select Motive.

Next, find the Motive asset ID, which can be found in the hyperlink of the asset when viewing it within the Motive portal. For example, in the URL https://app.gomotive.com/en-US/#/fleetview/map/vehicle/867351-null-null/867351/live`, only use the highlighted portion: 867351.
