The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has removed Falcon ELD and KSK ELD from its list of registered self-certifed electronic logging devices. FMCSA has placed these ELDs on the revoked devices list due to the providers’ failure to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A, effective Sept. 14, 2023.
FMCSA will send an industry email to inform motor carriers that all who use these revoked ELDs must take the following steps:
Discontinue using the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
Replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the registered devices list before Nov. 13, 2023.
Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs.
If the ELD providers correct all identified deficiencies, FMCSA will place the ELDs back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry and enforcement officials in the field.
Between now and Nov. 13, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using the revoked ELDs for 395.8(a)(1) – “No record of duty status” or 395.22(a) – “Failing to use a registered ELD.” During this time, safety officials should request the driver’s paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a back-up method to review the hours of service data.
Beginning Nov. 13, motor carriers who continue to use the revoked devices listed above will be considered to be operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after Nov. 13 should cite 395.8(a)(1), and place the driver out-of-service.
FMCSA said it strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now to avoid compliance issues in the event that the deficiencies are not addressed in time.
