Fleet FAQ

Got Questions? ELD and Telematics

Q. Is an ELD provider required to notify its fleet customers if its ELD solution has been removed from the FMCSA’s ELD registration list due to non-compliance?

A. No, ELD providers are not required to notify its customers their devices have been removed from the ELD registration list due to non-compliance.

 The FMCSA will maintain on its website a list of devices it has removed from the list — and take steps to make sure the industry is aware of any determinations of device non-compliance.

 Fleet managers should be vigilant about any change in status of the fleet’s ELD solution. If a fleet driver is using a device that’s found to be out of compliance, the fleet and the driver may face a citation, fine, or being placed out of service, even if the fleet was using the device in good faith.
