FMCSA Revokes 121 ELDs; Carriers Have 60 Days to Replace
Carriers using a revoked unit have 60 days to replace it with an approved device. Drivers should use paper logs or logging software until the replacement is made.
FMCSA removed 121 electronic logging devices from the agency's registry. Another 12 devices were self-revoked by their manufacturers.
Carriers that use a revoked device must replace it with a compliant device from FMCSA's approved list within 60 days. If they do not, the carrier will be placed out of service and given a no record of duty status.
Until the replacement is made, drivers should use paper logs or logging software to record hours-of-service data.
U.S. DOT called the action historic. The agency said the revocations are meant to stop devices that can be used to alter duty records and evade oversight.
FMCSA also expects to release a formal proposal on changes to ELD rules in November. The agency has said it will use feedback from an earlier notice to guide possible changes.
