The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has removed five electronic logging devices (ELDs) from its list of registered devices, requiring motor carriers using the affected products to replace them with compliant ELDs within 60 days.
According to the agency, carriers must discontinue using the revoked devices and install a registered replacement by Oct. 6, 2026. Until then, drivers should use paper records of duty status or compliant logging software to document hours of service while transitioning to a new ELD.
Five ELDs Removed from FMCSA’s Registry
The following devices have been revoked:
- Provider: UZB2USA INC
Device: Moonlight ELD
Model: MRS
ELD ID: MRS255 - Provider: HGRS
Device: HGRS ELD
Model: HGR
ELD ID: HRS169 - Provider: HGRS
Device: Highest ELD
Model: HIG4ES
ELD ID: HIG385 - Provider: Truckford ELD
Device: Truckford ELD
Model: TRS - ELD ID: TRS263
Provider: Spark Technologies Inc.
Device: Sparkle ELD
Model: PT40SIM
ELD ID: SPARK6
FMCSA said carriers using any of these devices must transition to an ELD that remains on the agency’s registered device list.
What Drivers and Carriers Need to Know
FMCSA is allowing a 60-day transition period for affected carriers.
During that time, enforcement personnel have been advised not to cite drivers using the revoked devices for failing to use a registered ELD or for not having an electronic record of duty status. Instead, drivers should be prepared to present paper logs, logging software, or the revoked ELD’s display as supporting documentation for hours-of-service records.
Beginning Oct. 7, 2026, drivers who continue using one of the revoked ELDs may be cited for operating without a compliant electronic logging device and could be placed out of service.
FMCSA Continues ELD Enforcement
The five revocations bring the total number of ELDs removed from FMCSA’s registry since January 2025 to 95.
The latest action also comes as industry groups continue raising concerns about so-called “white-labeled” ELDs, in which nearly identical devices are marketed under multiple brand names.
Joe Ohr, chief operating officer of the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA), has been researching what he refers to as “chameleon ELDs.” He has previously said that if one white-labeled device is found to be noncompliant, all related versions should be reviewed or removed to prevent hours-of-service violations.
FMCSA has indicated it will restore any revoked device to the registered ELD list if the provider corrects the deficiencies identified during the agency’s review.
