FMCSA Removes Safe ELD and MYLOGS ELD from Approved List
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced on May 7, 2026, that it has removed two electronic logging devices from its list of registered and compliant devices. The action affects Safe ELD (iOS and Android) and MYLOGS ELD, both of which are now listed as revoked due to failure to meet federal requirements.
This update is part of ongoing enforcement efforts by the agency to ensure that all devices used across the trucking industry meet federal safety and compliance standards.
Why Safe ELD and MYLOGS ELD Were Removed
According to FMCSA, both devices were removed after failing to meet the minimum technical and performance standards outlined in federal regulations under Title 49 CFR Part 395.
The affected providers include:
- BEMOREX, INC (Safe ELD – iOS and Android versions)
- Mylogs Inc (MYLOGS ELD)
Each device was found to be noncompliant with required specifications, which are critical for accurately recording hours-of-service (HOS) data. These standards are designed to ensure that driver logs are reliable and enforceable during inspections and audits.
FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs stated that the agency has been actively identifying devices that do not meet federal standards. Since early 2025, the agency has continued removing noncompliant systems to protect the integrity of the ELD program.
What Motor Carriers Must Do Now
Motor carriers using any of the revoked devices are required to take immediate action to remain compliant.
First, carriers must stop using the revoked devices. Drivers should switch to paper logs or compliant logging software to continue tracking hours of service.
Next, carriers have a 60-day window to install a compliant device from FMCSA’s registered devices list. The deadline to complete this transition is July 7, 2026.
Until that date, enforcement officials are being advised not to issue citations related to missing or non-registered ELD use, as long as drivers can provide valid records through alternative methods such as paper logs or display data from the device.
Enforcement Begins After July 7, 2026
Starting July 7, 2026, enforcement will become stricter. Any driver still using one of the revoked devices will be considered out of compliance.
At that point, safety officials may issue violations for:
- Failure to maintain a record of duty status
- Failure to use a registered ELD
Drivers found in violation may also be placed out-of-service (OOS) under CVSA guidelines.
This means drivers could be prevented from continuing their trip until the issue is resolved, which may lead to delays and potential financial impact for carriers.
FMCSA Leaves Door Open for Reinstatement
FMCSA noted that if the device providers fix the issues that led to the removal, the devices could be added back to the approved list. However, there is no guarantee that corrections will be made in time.
Because of this uncertainty, the agency is urging carriers to act now rather than wait. Early replacement helps avoid last-minute compliance problems and reduces the risk of violations once enforcement begins.
ELD Removals Continue Across the Industry
FMCSA has been increasing oversight of electronic logging devices over the past year.
According to the agency, 67 devices have been removed since January 2025 for failing to meet federal standards. These removals involve multiple providers and reflect ongoing efforts to enforce compliance across the industry.
The growing number of revoked devices shows that FMCSA is taking a more aggressive approach to ensuring that all ELD systems meet required performance and security standards. Devices that fail to properly record or transfer data can create serious compliance risks for both drivers and carriers.
As a result, carriers are encouraged to regularly verify that their provider remains on the approved list and continues to meet all regulatory requirements.
