Five electronic logging devices removed from FMCSA registry over compliance issues
Key takeaway
- FMCSA revoked five ELDs for failing federal requirements, requiring carriers to replace devices within 60 days.
- Carriers using revoked ELDs after October 6 may face out-of-service violations during safety inspections.
- Fleets should monitor FMCSA’s registered ELD list to maintain compliance with electronic logging rules.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently removed five ELDs from the list of registered electronic logging devices:
- Moonlight ELD
- HGRS ELD
- Highest ELD
- TruckFord ELD
- Sparkle 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 August 6.
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 October 6, 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 October 6 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 deficiency.
