Motive and Highway Restore ELD Data Access After Integration Dispute

Highway and Motive said in a joint statement that they have reached an agreement to restore the frequency at which Highway can access electronic logging device data belonging to Motive customers when carriers authorize that access, ending a disruption that began earlier after Motive limited the application programming interface connection between the two platforms and indicated Highway would need to compensate it for the data. The companies said they are working together to ensure uninterrupted service for the carriers and brokers that rely on both. The statement said no action is required from carriers or brokers. Both companies framed the resolution around carrier authorization. They said they share a commitment to giving motor carriers transparency and control over how their data is authorized and used, and that they are in discussions to update their existing agreement to more clearly reflect current use cases.
