The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has removed nine electronic logging devices from its list of registered ELDs.
The agency cited the providers’ failure to meet minimum federal technical requirements.
The agency announced Thursday, Feb. 12, that the devices have been placed on FMCSA’s Revoked Devices list. This move came after the companies did not comply with standards outlined in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.
“If an ELD isn’t meeting federal requirements, it’s taken out of service — plain and simple,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs. “We’ll keep making clear, fair decisions that put safety first and support everyone who shares America’s roadways.”
Nine Devices Removed from Registered List
FMCSA identified the following providers and products as revoked:
- Global Telecommunication Services -- GTS ELD (Model 213W01)
- UTrucking -- Model PT30
- ELD365 -- Model ELD365/ELOG365
- Ironman ELD -- Model IRON300
- HOST ELD (formerly Factor ELD) -- Model FACTORELD1
- Aireld Technologies -- AirELD (Android & Xirgo 6300 Series)
- Aireld Technologies -- Air ELD (iOS & Xirgo 6300 Series)
- Aireld Technologies -- AirELD (Android & PT30)
- Aireld Technologies -- AirELD (iOS & PT30)
Each was removed for failing to meet the minimum ELD requirements established under federal rules.
Motor carriers have 60 days to replace revoked ELDs with compliant models from FMCSA’s Registered Devices list.
That means any revoke devices must be replaced by April 14, 2026.
FMCSA said it will notify the industry through an agency-wide email and expects fleets using the revoked devices to take immediate action.
What Carriers Must Do Now
FMCSA outlined three required steps for motor carriers currently operating with one of the revoked devices:
Stop using the revoked ELD immediately
Revert to paper logs or logging software to record hours-of-service data
Install a compliant registered ELD no later than April 14, 2026
Until the replacement deadline, fleets should be prepared to show paper logs or alternate records during roadside inspections.
FMCSA noted that if an ELD provider resolves all identified deficiencies, the device may be restored to the registered list and the industry will be notified of the update.
