FMCSA Removes 12 Devices from List of Registered Electronic Logging Devices

Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) removed 12 devices from the agency’s list of electronic logging devices (ELDs). These devices were placed on the Revoked Devices list due to the companies’ failure to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. 

Since January 2025, FMCSA has removed 79 devices that failed to meet Federal standards to ensure the technical integrity of the ELD program.

“Safety is not optional, and neither is compliance. FMCSA is serious about removing unsafe and unreliable electronic logging devices from the market and holding manufacturers accountable to federal safety standards. These standards are in place to help protect everyone traveling on American roads,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs.  

Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with a compliant ELD. FMCSA will send an industry-wide email to inform motor carriers that anyone using the revoked ELDs must take the following steps:

  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 a compliant ELD from the Registered Devices list before July 20, 2026.

Prior to July 20, 2026, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using the revoked ELDs for 395.8(a)(1) – “No record of duty status” or 395.22(a) – “Failing to use a registered ELD.” Instead, safety officials should request the driver’s paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a back-up method to review the hours-of-service data.

Beginning July 20, 2026, motor carriers who continue to use the revoked devices listed above will be considered as operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using the revoked devices on or after July 20, 2026, should cite 395.8(a)(1) and place the driver out-of-service (OOS) in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS Criteria.

If the ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies for its device, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update. 

However, FMCSA strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now to avoid compliance issues in the event that the deficiencies are not addressed by the ELD provider.
