According to FMCSA, the devices failed to comply with the standards established in 49 CFR Part 395, Appendix A to Subpart B. They have now been added to the agency’s Revoked Devices List.

The revoked ELDs are:

Motor carriers using one of these devices have 60 days to replace it with a compliant ELD. During the transition period, drivers must use paper records of duty status or compliant logging software to record their hours of service until a replacement device is installed.

The replacement deadline for the revoked devices is Sept. 8, 2026.

Drivers who continue using one of the revoked ELDs after that date may be cited for failing to maintain a required record of duty status under 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1). FMCSA also noted that those violations may result in drivers being placed out of service under the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s Out-of-Service Criteria.

While a revoked device can return to FMCSA’s Registered Devices List if its provider corrects the identified deficiencies and demonstrates compliance with federal requirements, the agency is encouraging carriers to replace affected devices rather than wait for a possible reinstatement.

Motor carriers can verify whether an ELD remains compliant by reviewing FMCSA’s current Registered Devices List and Revoked Devices List before purchasing or installing a replacement device.

The post FMCSA Revokes 10 More Electronic Logging Devices appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced the removals this week as part of its continued review of electronic logging devices that no longer meet federal requirements. The latest action follows three additional ELD removals announced earlier this month.

Motor carriers using the revoked devices must stop relying on them and replace them with compliant ELDs from FMCSA’s registered device list before the deadline. During the transition, carriers may revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.

Drivers Using Revoked Devices Could Be Placed Out of Service

FMCSA said drivers who continue using the revoked ELDs on or after July 20 will be considered in violation of 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1), which covers failing to maintain a proper record of duty status.

Those drivers may also be placed out of service under the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance out-of-service criteria.

The deadline gives carriers a limited window to replace affected systems, train drivers on the new device, and make sure records can be transferred properly during roadside inspections.

Revoked Devices Could Return if Providers Fix Deficiencies

FMCSA said an ELD provider may be returned to the registered device list if the company corrects all identified deficiencies.

If that happens, FMCSA said it will notify the industry and enforcement personnel that the device has been restored to the list.

Even with that possibility, the agency strongly encouraged motor carriers to begin replacing revoked systems now rather than waiting to see whether a provider corrects the issue before July 20.

What Drivers Should Know Before the Deadline

The main risk for drivers is continuing to rely on a device that enforcement officials no longer recognize as compliant after the deadline.

Drivers using affected ELDs should confirm whether their carrier has a replacement plan, whether paper logs or logging software will be used during the transition, and when the new system will be ready before the July 20 compliance date.

Waiting until the final days could create avoidable problems during roadside inspections, especially if drivers are not familiar with the replacement system or backup logging method.

The post FMCSA Removes 12 More ELDs From Approved Device List appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

FMCSA placed the Safe ELD platform for both iOS and Android, along with the MyLogs ELD, into revoked status after determining the devices failed to meet federal technical requirements tied to ELD regulations.

The removals are part of FMCSA’s ongoing effort to eliminate noncompliant devices from the federal registry.

“Since January 2025, FMCSA has taken decisive action — removing 67 noncompliant devices that failed to meet federal standards — to protect the integrity of the ELD program, and we will continue to identify and remove any device that falls short,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs.

For carriers and drivers currently using the affected systems, July 7 is the key deadline.

Drivers Must Transition to Compliant Logging Systems

Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked devices with compliant ELDs. Until replacements are installed, drivers using the affected systems are required to track hours of service records through paper logs or approved logging software.

FMCSA said enforcement officers are being encouraged not to issue citations for no-logbook violations or for failure to use a registered ELD before July 7, as long as drivers can still provide valid hours-of-service documentation through backup records.

During inspections, officers may request paper logs, logging software records, or ELD display information while carriers complete the transition process.

After July 7, however, drivers and carriers continuing to use the revoked systems may be treated as operating without a compliant ELD during roadside inspections and enforcement actions.

FMCSA Encourages Carriers Not To Wait

According to FMCSA, the devices were removed because the companies failed to meet minimum technical requirements established under federal ELD regulations tied to Part 395 compliance standards.

Questions sent to the ELD providers regarding the revocations and plans reportedly went unanswered as of publication.

FMCSA also noted the devices could potentially return to approved status if the providers correct the identified deficiencies. If that happens, the agency said it would restore the devices to the approved registry and notify the industry.

Still, regulators are encouraging carriers to move forward with replacements now rather than risk future compliance issues tied to revoked systems.

For truck drivers, the latest removals highlight how quickly ELD compliance status can change as FMCSA continues reviewing devices listed on the federal registry.

The post Truck Drivers Using These ELDs Have Until July 7 To Replace Them appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

The agency announced the revocations on Tuesday, reinforcing that only ELDs meeting the minimum technical requirements outlined in federal regulations may remain approved for use by motor carriers and drivers.

Why the Devices Were Removed

As is standard practice in ELD enforcement actions, FMCSA did not specify which technical elements led to the revocations. The agency stated only that the devices failed to comply with the minimum requirements established in 49 Code of Federal Regulations Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.

FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs emphasized that compliance is non-negotiable.

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

List of Revoked ELDs

The following four devices were officially revoked from the FMCSA registered ELD list:

• PremierRide Logs from PremierRide Logs LLC
• DSG Elogs from DSG Tracking LLC
• State Elogs from State Elog LLC
• State Elogs 2 from State Elog LLC

Once a device is revoked, it is no longer considered compliant for recording hours of service.

Response From One ELD Provider

A representative from State Elog said the company had previously been in communication with FMCSA regarding compliance issues with the original State Elogs system. According to the company, FMCSA was informed that the original system would be discontinued and that operations would continue only on State Elogs 2.

After the compliance deadline passed, both devices were revoked.

“We are currently investigating the situation and will be contacting FMCSA to clarify the circumstances and dispute the removal,” the State Elog representative added.

Attempts to contact the other companies affected by the revocations had not been returned as of press time.

What Drivers and Carriers Need to Do Next

Motor carriers and drivers using any of the revoked devices have a limited window to transition to compliant logging solutions. FMCSA has provided a 60-day period to replace revoked ELDs.

During this transition period, the agency advises drivers to discontinue use of the revoked devices and instead use paper logs or logging software to record hours of service.

All affected devices must be replaced with compliant ELDs by March 15.

Enforcement After the Deadline

Beginning March 15, any motor carrier or driver continuing to use one of the revoked devices will be operating without an ELD. That status can result in citations, enforcement action, and potential impacts to safety records.

FMCSA noted that if any ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies, the agency may restore the device to the registered list and notify the industry of the update.

The post FMCSA Revokes Four More Electronic Logging Devices from Approved List appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

FMCSA announced on Tuesday, Dec. 30, that the devices were officially moved to the revoked list after failing to meet minimum regulatory requirements. Drivers and carriers using any of the affected units are now facing a strict deadline to make the necessary changes.

Which ELDs were removed from the approved list

According to FMCSA, the following electronic logging devices are no longer authorized for use:

• Forward Thinking Systems Field Warrior ELD BYOD
• Forward Thinking Systems Field Warrior ELD Garmin
• DYNAMIC ELD
• Top Tracking System LLC P3TS

The agency cited “failure to meet the minimum requirements” outlined in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. Those regulations define the functional standards that all ELDs must meet. FMCSA did not release specific details about which requirements each device failed to satisfy.

Why FMCSA says the removals matter

FMCSA leadership emphasized that ELD compliance is directly tied to safety on the road.

“Electronic logging devices play an important role in preventing unsafe driving practices,” FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs said in a statement. “When devices don’t meet federal requirements, they put safety at risk, and that’s why we take action to remove them and keep our roads safer for everyone.”

What drivers and carriers need to do next

Carriers currently operating with any of the revoked devices have until March 1 to replace them with an ELD that appears on FMCSA’s approved list. After that date, continued use of a revoked device will be treated the same as operating without an ELD.

FMCSA warned that failure to replace the devices by the deadline can result in a no record of duty status and drivers being placed out of service during inspections.

Ahead of the deadline, FMCSA advised drivers to temporarily switch to paper logs or logging software if they are currently using one of the revoked devices.

Replacing devices before the deadline is strongly encouraged

While ELDs can be returned to the approved list if the manufacturer corrects all identified deficiencies, FMCSA made it clear that carriers should not wait on that outcome.

The agency said it “strongly encourages” carriers to proactively replace affected devices in case the deficiencies are not resolved by the ELD providers.

ELD removals have accelerated over the past year

This latest action is part of a broader push by FMCSA to remove non-compliant ELDs from the market. Over the course of 2025, the agency revoked a total of 38 electronic logging devices.

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

Changes are coming to how ELDs are approved.

FMCSA has also announced plans for a complete overhaul of the ELD vetting process. Since the mandate took effect in 2017, manufacturers have been allowed to self-certify their devices. According to the agency, that system has made it easier for non-compliant devices to be registered or re-registered after removal.

While FMCSA has not released full details on the new approval process, the agency said it will include:

• An initial review
• Fraud detection measures
•  Categorization into approved, information requested, further review, or denied

The agency has not confirmed whether self-certification will be eliminated.

What the changes mean for drivers

FMCSA says the updated vetting process is intended to give drivers and carriers greater confidence in the equipment they are required to use.

The agency said the new system will help ensure devices are “accurate, reliable, and compliant.”

“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,” Barrs said.

For drivers, the takeaway is simple. Check your ELD against FMCSA’s current approved list, know the March 1 deadline, and make changes early to avoid interruptions on the road.

The post FMCSA Removes More ELDs as Enforcement Tightens on Non-Compliant Devices appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

According to FMCSA, the devices were taken off the Registered Devices list because the companies behind them failed to meet minimum federal requirements. When an ELD loses its certification, it can no longer be used to record hours of service once the transition period ends.

“Electronic logging devices play an important role in preventing unsafe driving practices,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs. “When devices don’t meet federal requirements, they put safety at risk, and that’s why we take action to remove them and keep our roads safer for everyone.”

The ELDs affected

The following four devices are now listed as revoked by FMCSA:

• P3TS from Top Tracking System
• Field Warrior ELD (BYOD) from Forward Thinking Systems
• Field Warrior ELD (Garmin) from Forward Thinking Systems
• Dynamic ELD from Midwestern Logistics

Forward Thinking Systems CEO David Isler said he was “very much taken by surprise on this,” adding that the company believed it had “already fixed all issues identified by FMCSA and were surprised to see our name on the revoked list. We will get it sorted.”

FMCSA said attempts to reach the other companies for comment were unsuccessful as of press time.

What drivers and carriers need to do now

Drivers and motor carriers using any of these devices have up to 60 days to replace them with a compliant ELD. FMCSA is advising anyone currently running a revoked unit to stop using it and switch to paper logs or approved logging software in the meantime.

All revoked devices must be fully replaced by March 1. After that date, using one of these units will be treated the same as operating without an ELD, which can lead to violations, citations, and potential out of service orders during inspections.

What happens if issues are fixed

FMCSA noted that if an ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies, the agency can reinstate the device on the Registered Devices list. If that happens, FMCSA will notify the industry that the product is once again approved for use.

For drivers and fleet managers, this situation is a reminder to regularly check FMCSA’s ELD registration and revocation lists. Staying ahead of compliance changes can help avoid roadside problems, lost time, and unnecessary fines while keeping trucks moving legally and safely.

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.”

The post FMCSA Removes Three More ELDs From Approved List appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

According to FMCSA, these devices were moved to the Revoked Devices list because the providers “failed to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.”

The Latest ELDs Removed (Effective Oct. 17)

Here are the devices that are now officially revoked:

ART KILIM INC
• ELD Name: PREMIUM ELD
• Model Number: PMM
• Identifier: PMM492

Clean Aura Corp
• ELD Name: TRUE LOGBOOK
• Model Number: 2TRUL
• Identifier: TRL584

Xplore Tech Inc
• ELD Name: Xplore ELD
• Model Number: XPLELD
• Identifier: XPLORE

KAMI ELD
• ELD Name: KAMI ELD
• Model Number: KAME X456
• Identifier: KAM683

Evo ELD Inc.
• ELD Name: EVO ELD 1
• Model Number: EVO 1
• Identifier: G711H2

This isn’t an isolated move. FMCSA has been steadily purging noncompliant devices all year. Since January, multiple rounds of removals have hit carriers who weren’t paying close attention.

What Drivers and Carriers Are Required To Do

FMCSA is giving fleets 60 days to swap out any of the revoked devices. Here’s what they’re instructing carriers to do immediately:

1. Stop using the revoked ELD.
   Switch over to paper logs or logging software to stay compliant.
2. Install a registered replacement device by Dec. 16.
   Only devices still on FMCSA’s Registered Devices list are acceptable.

FMCSA also noted that inspectors should not issue violations for 395.8(a)(1) No record of duty status or 395.22(a) Failing to use a registered ELD before the deadline, as long as drivers can provide logs using paper, software, or the device display as a backup.

After Dec. 16, anyone still using these revoked units will be treated as operating with no ELD at all. FMCSA stated that drivers using the banned devices after that date should be cited under 395.8(a)(1) and placed out of service following Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance CVSA rules.

Can These Devices Come Back?

FMCSA made it clear that if the providers fix their compliance issues, they’ll add the devices back to the Registered Devices list and notify the industry of the change. But the agency also added a warning. FMCSA said it strongly encourages motor carriers to act now to avoid compliance issues in the event that the deficiencies are not addressed by the ELD provider.

If you want to stay ahead, check the official FMCSA Registered Devices list and make sure your model is still listed.

The post Five More ELDs Get Booted — Here’s What Drivers Need to Know appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Helping Not Replacing Drivers

Lane departure warnings and automatic emergency braking deliver alerts and automated responses when potential risks are detected. Data indicates that trucks equipped with these systems experience fewer preventable incidents.

Fatigue Monitoring Systems

Fatigue detection technology tracks eye and head movement to monitor alertness. On extended routes, this technology can identify signs of drowsiness to support safer operation.

ELDs Keeping Track to Stay Safe

Electronic Logging Devices automatically record driving and rest hours. This ensures compliance with Hours of Service regulations and provides consistent documentation for driver activity.

Predictive Maintenance and Smart Sensors Prevent Issues Before They Become Crises

Sensors monitor key components, including tires, brakes, and cargo stability. Early identification of potential problems allows for timely maintenance and reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.

Stronger Cabs and Enhanced Visibility Direct Protection During Crashes

Newer truck models include reinforced cabs, airbags, and digital mirrors. These features improve visibility and provide structural support during collisions.

AI and Telematics Real-Time Safety

Artificial intelligence integrated with telematics systems tracks vehicle performance and driving patterns. Fleets using these systems report measurable reductions in preventable incidents and more detailed maintenance insights.

Why This Matters

Truck safety innovations cover multiple aspects of driving and vehicle management. Awareness of these tools provides drivers and fleet managers with factual knowledge about the equipment and systems present on the road. For fleets, these technologies support operational reliability and management oversight.

The post What Truck Drivers and Fleet Managers Should Know About Today’s Safety Innovations appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

According to the agency, the following devices are no longer compliant with FMCSA requirements:

TT ELD PT30 | Model Number: ARN752 | ELD Identifier: CZGS10 | Provider: TT ELD Inc

ELOG42 | Model Number: ERS | ELD Identifier: ERS156 | Provider: Leko Inc

RENAISSANCE ELD | Model Number: RNSSNC | ELD Identifier: RNS592 | Provider: Renaissance ELD

The decision took effect on September 4, 2025, after FMCSA determined these devices did not meet the agency’s minimum standards.

What drivers and carriers need to know

Motor carriers currently using any of the revoked devices have a 60-day grace period to transition to a compliant solution. That deadline falls on November 3, 2025.

In the meantime, FMCSA has provided clear instructions:

• Stop using the revoked ELDs and switch temporarily to paper logs or logging software to record hours of service.
• Install and begin using an approved ELD from FMCSA’s Registered Devices list before the November deadline.

Until November 3, enforcement officers have been asked to show flexibility. Instead of issuing citations for “No record of duty status” or “Failing to use a registered ELD,” they are expected to review hours-of-service information through paper logs, logging software, or by using the ELD display as a backup method.

However, once the November cutoff arrives, the rules tighten. Any carrier still operating with one of the revoked devices will be considered as operating without an ELD, and drivers may be placed out-of-service under the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS criteria.

Possible reinstatement

FMCSA stated that if the providers resolve the issues with their devices, the products may be reinstated on the Registered Devices list. If that occurs, the industry will be notified.

For the latest details, including the full list of compliant devices, FMCSA directs carriers and drivers to its official website.
