Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) removed TRUCKSTAFF ELD from the agency’s list of electronic logging devices (ELDs). This device was placed on the Revoked Devices list due to the company’s failure to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.
“FMCSA will continue to take appropriate action when devices fail to meet the agency’s requirements because accurate and reliable hours-of-service records are essential to safety, compliance, and accountability across the industry,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs.
- ELD Provider: Truckstaff ELD
- Device Name: TRUCKSTAFF ELD
- Model Number: TRKSF
- ELD Identifier: TRS227
Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELD with a compliant ELD. FMCSA will send an industry-wide email to inform motor carriers that anyone using the revoked ELD must take the following steps:
- Discontinue using the revoked ELD and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
- Replace the revoked ELD with a compliant ELD from the Registered Devices list before August 23, 2026.
Prior to August 23, 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 August 23, 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 August 16, 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.
