Three more electronic logging devices have been removed from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s approved ELD registry, leaving affected truck drivers and carriers with a limited window to switch to compliant systems before enforcement begins.
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.
