12 ELDs Revoked by FMCSA: Drivers Have 60 Days to Switch

Key Details The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) revoked approval for 12 electronic logging devices on May 20, 2026, for failing to meet minimum federal standards. This brings the total number of revoked ELDs to 79 since January 2025. Carriers using these devices must immediately stop and switch to compliant alternatives or paper logs. What You Need to Do You have until July 20, 2026, to replace any revoked ELD with an approved device. Until that deadline, law enforcement won't cite drivers using these systems - they'll simply request paper logs or software records to verify your hours-of-service. After July 20, continuing to use a revoked device means operating without an ELD, resulting in citations and out-of-service violations. Why It Matters FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs emphasized that safety compliance is non-negotiable. These revocations hold manufacturers accountable and protect all road users. Check the official FMCSA list immediately to confirm whether your current device is affected, then plan your transition accordingly to avoid enforcement action.
