FMCSA revokes 14 more ELDs, reinstates one device
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced March 4 that it has removed another 14 devices from the agency’s list of approved electronic logging devices.
FMCSA said they were placed on the revoked devices list due to the companies’ failures to meet the minimum legal requirements. Separately, FMCSA announced last week that it had reinstated the Field Warrior ELD from Forward Thinking Systems after it had been previously revoked.
“Meeting federal requirements isn’t optional. If a device falls short, it will be removed. We enforce the standard fairly and firmly because safety depends on it,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs.
Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant models. In the meantime, drivers should discontinue using the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software to record hours-of-service data.
The 14 latest ELDs to be revoked are manufactured by Club ELD, Dendra Inc., Green ELD, and Gorilla Fleet Safety LLC. Full details of the specific models involved can be found on FMCSA’s website.
