Motive restricted data access for Highway, specifically impacting ELD data refresh frequency and Load Lock Alerts for carriers using Motive hardware.

Motive began restricting its API connection to Highway after demanding payment for access to carrier data, a move Highway rejected. This change reduces the refresh rate of Motive ELD data within Highway's platform and removes Load Lock Alerts for affected carriers, directly impacting broker visibility and Highway's Performance Guarantee on those loads. For carriers, this may mean reduced preference from brokers who rely on real-time data and guarantee protections.
