The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) removed 10 electronic logging devices, or ELDs, from its official list on July 9, 2026. The devices were revoked because their providers failed to meet federal technical requirements.

Carriers using any of these ELDs must stop using them and temporarily record Hours of Service with paper logs or approved logging software. They must also replace the revoked device with a registered ELD by September 8, 2026.

After that deadline, continuing to use a revoked ELD will be treated as operating without a valid electronic logging device. During a roadside inspection, the driver could receive a violation and may be placed out of service.

FMCSA reminds carriers that they are responsible for checking regularly to make sure their ELDs remain on the agency’s registered device list. Drivers and owner-operators should verify the ELD name, model, and registration ID through the official FMCSA website instead of relying only on information provided by the vendor.

Check with your company, keep copies of your recent logs, and make sure any replacement device is properly installed before the deadline. An ELD may still appear to work normally even after losing its federal authorization.

Checking your device ahead of time can help you avoid fines, delays, and an out-of-service order.
