FMCSA Removes Four More ELDs From the Registry

FMCSA Removes Four ELDs From the Federal Registry

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has removed four electronic logging devices (ELDs) from its list of registered systems. The agency announced the action on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, after determining the devices failed to meet minimum federal standards set under Title 49 CFR Part 395.

FMCSA said the affected devices were placed on the Revoked Devices list because the companies behind them did not comply with the technical and data rules required for approved logging systems.

FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs said the agency will continue to remove ELDs that do not meet federal requirements.

“If an ELD isn’t meeting federal requirements, it’s taken out of service — plain and simple. We’ll keep making clear, fair decisions that put safety first and support everyone who shares America’s roadways,” Barrs said.

The Electronic Logging Devices Removed

FMCSA identified four ELDs that are no longer allowed for use in commercial motor vehicles. These were removed because they failed to meet federal requirements.

The revoked devices include:

PREMIERRIDE LOGS LLC
Device name: PREMIERRIDE LOGS
Model number: 1RIDE
ELD identifier: PRD391

DSG TRACKING LLC
Device name: DSGELOGS
Model number: DSGELOGS1
ELD identifier: DSGEL1

STATE ELOG LLC
Device name: STATE ELOGS
Model number: ST8-E
ELD identifier: STE384

STATE ELOG LLC
Device name: STATE ELOGS 2
Model number: PT-30
ELD identifier: STE384

FMCSA said these did not meet the minimum technical and operational standards required for federal approval.

How Revoked ELDs Must Be Replaced

Motor carriers using any of these devices have 60 days to switch to approved ELDs. FMCSA set the final deadline for replacement as March 15, 2026.

Until that date, carriers must stop using removed devices immediately and use temporary logging methods to stay in compliance. These methods include:

• Paper logbooks or logging software
• Replace revoked ELD with a compliant one found on the Registered Devices list

FMCSA will notify carriers by email that these are no longer allowed as primary logging devices.

ELDs and Roadside Enforcement Before March 15

FMCSA has told enforcement officers not to issue certain violations during the 60-day transition period for revoked ELDs.

Before March 15, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers for:

• 395.8(a)(1) — No record of duty status
• 395.22(a) — Failing to use a registered ELD

Instead, officers should review paper logs, logging software, or the ELD display screen to confirm hours-of-service records.

This approach allows drivers time to move off revoked ELDs without being penalized if their logs can still be reviewed.

What Happens to ELDs After March 15, 2026

Beginning March 15, 2026, any motor carrier still using one of the revoked ELDs will be treated as operating without an approved ELD.

FMCSA said safety officers who find drivers using these devices after that date must:

• Cite 395.8(a)(1) for no record of duty status
• Place the driver out of service under Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS Criteria

At that point, the revoked ELDs will no longer be accepted for compliance in any situation.

Can Revoked ELDs Be Reinstated?

FMCSA said revoked devices may return to the approved list if the provider corrects all identified problems.

If the company fixes the issues and meets federal requirements, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the Registered Devices list and notify the industry.

However, FMCSA said carriers should not wait for that to happen. The agency strongly advised fleets to replace revoked devices now to avoid compliance problems later.

Where to Find Compliant Devices

FMCSA requires that replacement ELDs be chosen from its official list of registered devices. Only devices that meet all federal standards appear on that list.

FMCSA also directs carriers and drivers to its ELD website for detailed rules, guidance, and future updates related to ELD compliance.
