After looking at a similar conversation from last week here: Link
It looks like we can assign different drivers as they change, so I have hope. Can we pull the driver list with all of data we need for drivers in Geotab so I don't have to create all of the drivers in Geotab and try to keep them updated? We have hundreds of drivers to manage!
Thanks for your help!

Hey @MMich-1864,
You can definitely pull all of the drivers using the API like this: Get Active Drivers. If you were asking how to get the drivers from Fleetio's API, I'm familiar with that API but don't know the answer off the top of my head.
There is a lot more to consider when trying to keep 2 different systems in sync for drivers though, and each situation is different. If you're interested in talking more about it, our dev team can help create a custom solution for you so you don't have to worry about duplicate data entry and your user lists getting out of sync. My email is tucker@bluearrowmail.com, just shoot me an email if you want to talk more.
Thanks,
Tucker

You get the EquipmentAssignments from Fleetio daily or poll it or create a webhook. Then update the DriverChange entity. If you have no driver then assign the "UnknownDriver" to the vehicle in Geotab. You can match on email or you can use a field like EmployeeNumber etc.. This is a common integration between systems.
