Key takeaways:
- Motor carriers must replace their revoked WALKER ELDs and SR ELDs within 60 days in order to remain compliant, as continued use after September 29 is considered operating without an ELD.
- Revoked ELDs may be reinstated if manufacturers fix their deficiencies, with the FMCSA providing updates.
- Drivers using revoked ELDs after September 29 will be placed out of service.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently removed two ELDs from the list of registered electronic logging devices:
- WALKER ELD
- SR ELD
FMCSA placed these ELDs on the revoked devices list because the companies failed to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. The removals took place July 31.

Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs. If the ELD providers correct all identified device deficiencies, FMCSA will place the ELDs back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update.
Beginning September 29, motor carriers that continue using the revoked devices listed above will be considered operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after September 29 will place the driver out of service.
FMCSA encourages motor carriers to take the above actions to avoid compliance issues if the ELD providers do not address the deficiencies.
