FMCSA revokes Phoenix ELD approval over compliance deficiencies
Key takeaways
- FMCSA revokes Phoenix ELD approval for failing to meet federal compliance requirements.
- Fleets have 60 days to replace the revoked Phoenix ELD or risk out-of-service penalties.
- Staying compliant with ELD regulations prevents costly downtime and enforcement actions.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently removed the Phoenix ELD from its list of registered electronic logging devices.
FMCSA placed this ELD on the revoked devices list because the company failed to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. The removal took place October 23.
Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELD with one that is compliant. If the ELD provider corrects all identified device deficiencies, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update.
Beginning December 22, motor carriers that continue using the revoked device listed above will be considered operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after December 22 will place the driver out of service.
FMCSA encourages motor carriers to take the above actions to avoid compliance issues if the ELD provider does not address the deficiencies.
