ELDs That Were Removed

FMCSA announced that the following devices have been moved to the revoked list:

• PSS ELD (Model Number PRS, ELD Identifier PRS271)
  • Black Bear ELD (Model Number BRS, ELD Identifier BRS254)
  • RT ELD Plus ACCURATE ELITE (Model Number RT ELITE BLE3647, ELD Identifier RTEL47)

Any carrier or driver using these devices must take steps to remain compliant with hours-of-service regulations.

Replacement Deadline

Carriers have until February 7 to replace the revoked ELDs with a unit listed on the FMCSA’s current list of approved devices. After that date, running one of the revoked units will be treated as having no record of duty status. This can result in being placed out of service.

Until a replacement device is installed, FMCSA directs drivers using any of these three units to use paper logs or logging software to record their hours of service.

Why the Devices Were Revoked

FMCSA states that the devices were removed for “failure to meet the minimum requirements” in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. The agency did not specify which requirements were not met.

Manufacturers can be reinstated to the approved list if they correct the issues identified by the agency. FMCSA advises carriers to prepare for the possibility that the deficiencies may not be corrected.

Part of a Larger Pattern

These three devices join others that have been removed this year. FMCSA has now placed 34 ELDs on the revoked list in 2025.

FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs stated,
“If an ELD isn’t meeting federal requirements, it’s taken out of service, plain and simple. We’ll keep making clear, fair decisions that put safety first and support everyone who shares America’s roadways.”

Changes Coming to the ELD Approval Process

FMCSA recently announced a complete overhaul of the ELD vetting process. Since 2017, manufacturers have been permitted to self-certify their products. According to the agency, this made it possible for non-compliant or previously revoked devices to be registered again.

FMCSA said the updated process will include an initial review, fraud detection, and categorization into approved, information requested, further review, and denied. The agency has not provided additional details on how the new system will operate or whether self-certification will continue.

Barrs stated, “By strengthening our review process for ELDs, we are ensuring the industry can rely on trusted equipment and that hardworking drivers are prioritizing their health and well-being, so they are best prepared to keep driving America’s economy forward.”

For drivers running routes through the Midwest, the Findlay stop at 11471 State Route 613W has been redesigned from the ground up with truckers in mind. The site now features 80 dedicated truck parking spaces, clean showers, and public laundry facilities. There’s also a Taco Bell on-site, along with a deli offering both hot and cold meal options that make it easier to grab a quick bite between runs.

The Findlay location now includes three self-checkout stations to cut down on wait times, plus mobile fueling and exclusive driver rewards through the Pilot app.

Down south in Eagle Pass, Texas, Pilot’s newest stop at 4392 El Indio Highway brings even more to the table for drivers hauling through the Lone Star State. This location adds 85 truck parking spaces and eight diesel lanes designed to keep fueling fast and efficient. Inside, drivers will find the same clean showers, laundry access, and deli options that make Pilot a trusted stop across the country. Four self-checkouts make for quick in-and-out trips, and mobile fueling through the Pilot app offers extra convenience and perks.

Between the two locations, Pilot’s latest openings are helping to close the gap in truck parking availability, one of the biggest challenges professional drivers face on the road.

With hundreds of locations nationwide, Pilot continues to upgrade and expand its network to make life easier for drivers who keep America moving.
