FMCSA Pulls 5 ELDs from Approved Device List: What Truckers Need to Know

FMCSA removes 5 ELDs from its approved list. Truck drivers using Ontime Logs PT, Green Light, Sahara, US FAST, or ELDWISE must switch to compliant devices by January 20, 2026.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced on November 20 that five electronic logging devices (ELDs) have been removed from the agency’s list of registered devices.

The affected ELDs are:

  • Ontime Logs PT – model OTL100; ELD identifier c3ac23; provider Ontime Logs Inc.
  • Green Light ELD – model PT30, IOSiX; ELD identifier GLEHOS; provider Green Light ELD LLC
  • Sahara ELD – model GDELD1000; ELD identifier SAHELD; provider Sahara ELD LLC
  • US FAST ELD – model USFASTELD1; ELD identifier UFE021; provider US FAST ELD
  • ELDWISE – model EWS; ELD identifier EWS092; provider NextParse LLC (formerly ELDWISE)

According to FMCSA, these devices no longer meet the minimum requirements outlined in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.

If you’re currently using one of the affected devices, here’s what you need to do:

  1. Stop using the revoked ELD immediately. Switch to paper logs or compliant logging software to record your hours of service.
  2. Replace the device with a registered ELD before January 20, 2026, to stay in compliance.

Staying on top of ELD compliance is crucial. Using an unapproved device can lead to violations during inspections and put your hours of service records at risk. Make sure your replacement device is fully compliant and on the FMCSA’s approved list.
