According to the agency, the devices failed to meet minimum requirements outlined in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.

“Meeting federal requirements isn’t optional,” said Derek Barrs, FMCSA administrator. “If a device falls short, it will be removed. We enforce the standard fairly and firmly because safety depends on it.”

What Happens Next

Motor carriers using any of the revoked devices have up to 60 days to transition to compliant ELDs listed on the Registered Devices list. The deadline to replace affected units is May 4, 2026.

Until that date, enforcement guidance instructs safety officials not to cite violations under 395.8(a)(1) for “No record of duty status” or 395.22(a) for “Failing to use a registered ELD” solely due to use of one of the revoked devices. Instead, officials are advised to review paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a backup to verify hours-of-service data.

Beginning May 4, 2026, continued use of a revoked device will be treated as operating without a compliant ELD. At that point, drivers may be cited under 395.8(a)(1) and placed out of service in accordance with Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance criteria.

If an ELD provider corrects identified deficiencies, the agency may restore the device to the registered list and notify the industry of the update.

For owner operators, small fleets, and safety departments, this means immediate action to avoid violations and potential out-of-service orders.

FMCSA Confirms Removal of 9 ELDs

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has officially placed nine devices on its Revoked Devices list. According to the agency, the affected companies failed to meet minimum technical standards outlined in federal regulations under Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.

FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs made the agency’s position clear.

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

When a device is revoked, it is no longer considered compliant for federal hours of service recordkeeping.

List of Revoked ELD Devices

The following devices have been removed from the FMCSA Registered Devices list:

• Global Telecommunication Services Inc.
  Device Name: GTS ELD
  Model Number: 213W01
  ELD Identifier: GTS18A

Drivers and carriers currently using any of these devices must transition to a compliant solution within the timeline provided by FMCSA.

What Carriers Must Do Now

Motor carriers have up to 60 days from the date of removal to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant devices listed on the FMCSA Registered Devices list. The agency has outlined specific steps.

Carriers must:

• Discontinue using the revoked ELDs
• Revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data
• Replace revoked devices with compliant ELDs before April 14

Until April 14, enforcement guidance instructs safety officials not to cite drivers using revoked devices under 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1) for no record of duty status or 395.22(a) for failing to use a registered ELD. Instead, officers should request paper logs, logging software records, or use the ELD display as a backup method to review hours of service data.

Beginning April 14, drivers still operating with one of the revoked devices may be cited under 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1) and placed out of service under Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance criteria.

Why This Matters for Drivers and Fleets

For owner operators, a revoked ELD can quickly turn into lost time and revenue if not addressed. An out-of-service order tied to hours of service documentation affects delivery schedules, CSA scores, and carrier reputation.

For safety directors and compliance managers, reviewing device status against the FMCSA Registered Devices list should now be part of routine internal audits. Devices can be reinstated if deficiencies are corrected, but FMCSA has strongly encouraged carriers to act immediately rather than wait for possible reinstatement.

If an ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies, FMCSA will restore the device to the registered list and notify the industry.

In the meantime, drivers and fleet managers should verify their current ELD model and identifier against the official FMCSA database.

A Major Shift for Truck Parking in NYC

Under the newly passed legislation, the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) will implement overnight parking options in industrial business areas. For years, truck drivers have struggled with a lack of suitable parking spots in New York City, forcing them to park in areas ill-equipped for heavy-duty vehicles. This issue has posed challenges for operators and raised safety concerns for nearby neighborhoods.

“For far too long, the shortage of overnight parking for truck drivers in New York City has forced trucks to park in areas where they shouldn’t be,” said Zach Miller, vice president of government affairs for the Trucking Association of New York (TANY). “This problem has been exacerbated by next-day and same-day demand and strict federal Hours-of-Service regulations. This creates an unsafe environment for both drivers and the surrounding communities. We want to thank City Council Member Dr. Nantasha Williams, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, and the bill’s co-sponsors for their commitment to advancing commonsense solutions to address existing challenges around overnight truck parking.”

With this new mandate, truck drivers will soon have better access to secure, legal parking options, helping reduce the challenges caused by overnight parking shortages.

Building on the Success of the Overnight Truck Parking Pilot

The legislation builds on the foundation laid by NYC DOT’s Overnight Truck Parking Pilot. This program, which introduced metered parking within industrial business zones, demonstrated the potential of structured overnight parking to improve freight logistics across the city. The pilot served as a testing ground, paving the way for this larger-scale solution.

The program aims to enhance resource efficiency by designating parking spaces for commercial trucks in areas already zoned for industrial purposes. According to industry experts, this approach holds the promise of optimizing freight movement while simultaneously lessening the negative impact on non-industrial neighborhoods.

“Trucks are the backbone of the New York City economy—responsible for transporting almost 90% of goods—but there is only one parking space for every 11 trucks in the U.S. and even worse in dense urban areas such as New York City,” Miller said. “Providing a safe place to park is not just a kind gesture; it has the power to improve efficiency, reduce costs for drivers, and preserve neighborhoods. It’s a simple change that helps the entire city run better—and we commend our city leaders for working to make this a reality.”

Benefits Beyond the Trucking Industry

This change isn’t just a win for truck drivers—it benefits New York’s economy and local communities, too. By providing legal and accessible parking, the legislation seeks to enhance the overall safety and quality of life in neighborhoods historically affected by trucks parked in unauthorized areas. Fewer trucks parked on residential streets will mean reduced overnight noise and increased safety for pedestrians.

Additionally, improving parking options for truck drivers can lead to gains in supply chain efficiency, potentially resulting in cost savings that ripple through to consumers. Delivered goods may arrive faster and more reliably, contributing to heightened economic activity.

A Long-Awaited Move Forward

The lack of adequate truck parking has long been a pain point for the transportation industry, both in New York and nationwide. With federal Hours-of-Service regulations requiring drivers to rest for specific periods, finding a safe, legal place to park has become overwhelming in densely populated urban areas.

Industry leaders are optimistic that this legislation will set a precedent for other cities facing similar challenges. The collaboration between the NYC Council, NYC DOT, and advocates like the Trucking Association of New York demonstrates the kind of cooperative action necessary for tackling complex urban issues.

What Lies Ahead

With the passage of this legislation, the next step involves the NYC Department of Transportation’s official rollout of overnight parking zones. Stakeholders will be watching closely to ensure the program’s success and its alignment with community needs.

This policy marks a meaningful step toward solving the truck parking shortage, with wide-ranging benefits for drivers, city residents, and the local economy. It’s proof that smart urban planning can create win-win solutions when all voices are heard and considered.
