WASHINGTON DC – Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) removed two devices from the agency’s list of registered electronic logging devices, or ELDs. WALKER ELD and SR ELD 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. The removals are effective July 31, 2025, for the following devices:
- WALKER ELD
Model Number: WAL-R
ELD Identifier: WLK790
ELD Provider: Walker ELD System INC
- SR ELD
Model Number: SR-E
ELD Identifier: SRE288
ELD Provider: SR ELD LLC
Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs. FMCSA will send an industry-wide email to inform motor carriers that anyone using these revoked ELDs must take the following steps:
- Discontinue using the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
- Replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the Registered Devices list before September 29, 2025.
Prior to September 29, 2025, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using this revoked ELD 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 September 29, 2025, 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 a revoked device on or after September 29, 2025 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.
