FMCSA Removes 23+ Non-Compliant ELDs in 2026 Enforcement Push

Key Details The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has purged more than two dozen electronic logging devices from its approved product list since January 2026. The agency revoked 14 devices on Wednesday and 9 more on February 12, continuing an aggressive compliance campaign targeting non-compliant hours-of-service technology. Why It Matters Electronic logging devices are required for most interstate commercial truck drivers and automatically record hours of service. Poorly designed ELDs can enable falsified records, allowing drivers to exceed federally mandated driving limits and compromising safety on the road. What's Happening FMCSA removed devices from multiple vendors, with several from Gorilla Fleet Safety LLC. This enforcement action reflects an 80% increase in ELD revocations compared to 2024, showing regulators are tightening oversight of logging technology vendors. Next Steps Carriers using revoked devices have 60 days to switch to compliant ELDs on the FMCSA's official list. During this transition period, regulators won't cite drivers for non-compliance if they maintain records through paper logs or compliant software alternatives. Bottom Line FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs stated: "Meeting federal requirements isn't optional. If a device falls short, it will be removed." Vendors can seek reinstatement by correcting identified deficiencies.
