The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration removed three more devices from the agency’s list of electronic logging devices. These devices were placed on the Revoked Devices list due to the companies’ failure to meet the minimum requirements in the mandatory ELD regulation for truckers.

The latest revocation news comes a week after FMCSA announced it is changing the way ELD providers get added to the list.

ELDs, mandatory for most interstate truck drivers, electronically record driver hours-of-service to help prevent fatigue-related crashes and ensure compliance with federal safety regulations.  

Under the self-certification system originally set up by the ELD regulations, it has been relatively easy to register non-compliant devices or re-register devices that had been revoked by the agency. FMCSA said its updated process closes this loophole. New ELD listings will no longer flow straight from self-certification to public listing.

“If an ELD isn’t meeting federal requirements, it’s taken out of service, plain and simple,”  said FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs in a news release.

Which ELDs Were Removed From the FMCSA List?

The FMCSA revocation notice from December 8 said motor carriers or drivers using the following revoked ELDs have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs.

• ELD Provider: Pioneer Safety Solutions LLC

  • Device Name: PSS ELD

  • Model Number: PRS

  • ELD Identifier: PRS271

• ELD Provider: Black Bear ELD

  • Device Name: Black Bear ELD

  • Model Number: BRS

  • ELD Identifier: BRS254

• ELD Provider: Rollingtrans

  • Device Name: RT ELD Plus - ACCURATE ELITE

  • Model Number: RT-ELITE-BLE3647

  • ELD Identifier: RTEL47 

What Should You Do If You're Using One of these ELDs?

FMCSA will send an industry-wide email to inform motor carriers that anyone using the revoked ELDs must take the following steps: 

1. Discontinue using the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.

2. Replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the Registered Devices list before February 7, 2026. 

Prior to February 7, 2026, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using revoked ELDs for 395.8(a)(1) – “No record of duty status” or 395.22(a) – “Failing to use a registered ELD.” 

Instead, 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, according to FMCSA.

Beginning February 7, 2026, motor carriers who continue to use the revoked devices listed above will be considered as operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after February 7, 2026, should cite 395.8(a)(1) and place the driver out-of-service (OOS) in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS Criteria. 

If the ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies for its device, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update. However, that is a rare occurrence.

FMCSA strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now and not wait to see if the ELD is returned to the list.
