Carriers face enforcement risk after FMCSA revokes TruckStaff ELD
Key takeaways
- FMCSA removed TruckStaff ELD from its approved list for failing to meet federal ELD requirements.
- Carriers have 60 days to replace the revoked TruckStaff ELD to maintain compliance.
- Use of a revoked ELD after August 23 may result in out-of-service enforcement actions.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently removed one ELD from the list of registered electronic logging devices: TruckStaff ELD.
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 June 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 August 23, 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 August 23 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 deficiency.
