Motus that the IRS and FMCSA both accept.
Motus is widely deployed for tax-compliant mileage capture, but the same data feed should also satisfy your FMCSA HOS oversight obligations. We deploy and configure Motus so it serves both audiences without contradiction.
49 CFR Part 395 (HOS / ELD) · IRS mileage substantiation
What this engagement covers.
Motus selection vs. alternatives, sized to your fleet and reimbursement model.
Deployment configuration that satisfies both IRS substantiation and FMCSA HOS evidentiary needs.
Integration with your ELD vendor so the two data feeds corroborate rather than contradict.
Driver onboarding, signed acknowledgments, and a documented retention policy.
Best for
Who this fits.
- Fleets reimbursing drivers per-mile and needing IRS-compliant substantiation.
- Mixed fleets (private + leased + 1099) where mileage capture must be unified across employment relationships.
- Carriers whose ELD vendor does not natively integrate with their reimbursement system.
