FMCSA Revokes 14 ELDs for Non-Compliance
The FMCSA revoked 14 ELDs due to issues like inaccurate data, requiring replacement by May 4, 2026, to avoid penalties.
The revoked ELDs include well-known brands like the OneView ELD, Artek ELD, and several models from companies like GPS Technologies and Titan ELD. Drivers using these devices must switch to compliant ELDs by the deadline to avoid fines and potential out-of-service orders. The FMCSA's revocation is based on findings of non-compliance with technical specifications outlined in 49 CFR part 395, subpart A, appendix A. These ELDs failed to accurately record driving time or transfer data as required, leading to the removal from the list of certified devices. Motor carriers should immediately check the FMCSA's list of registered ELDs to verify their device's compliance status. Failure to replace a revoked ELD can result in a violation during roadside inspections, impacting a carrier's safety rating. The revocation underscores the importance of regular ELD compliance monitoring and proactive updates from providers. Carriers should also ensure their chosen ELD provider offers adequate customer support and software updates to maintain compliance.
