REVOKED ELDs: FMCSA Removes Two ELDs from Registered Devices List | Show Less

Thursday, September 14, 2023

FMCSA removed the two ELDs below due to the companies’ failure to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A.



Motor carriers and drivers using the ELDs above must take the following actions:
  1. Discontinue using the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
  2. Replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the Registered ELDs list before November 13, 2023.
Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs. Motor carriers and drivers who continue to use the ELDs listed above on or after November 13, 2023 will be in violation of 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1) – “No record of duty status” and drivers will be placed out-of-service in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Out-of-Service Criteria.

If the ELD providers correct all identified deficiencies for their devices, FMCSA will place the ELDs back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry and the field. However, FMCSA strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now to avoid compliance issues in the event that these deficiencies are not addressed in time.
