FMCSA Announces ELD Revocations
On February 12, 2026, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) removed nine electronic logging devices (ELDs) from its Registered Devices list. The action was due to the providers’ failure to meet minimum technical requirements under 49 CFR Part 395, Appendix A to Subpart B.
Revoked ELD Devices
The revoked devices are:
GTS ELD (Model 213W01, Identifier GTS18A) from Global Telecommunication Services, Inc.
UTRUCKIN (Model PT30, Identifier UTRUCK) from UTRUCKIN INC
ELD365 ELOG (Model ELD365, formerly ELOG365, Identifier ELD365) from ELD365
IRONMAN ELD (Model IRON300) from Ironman ELD
FACTOR ELD / HOST ELD (Model FACTORELD1) from Host ELD
AirELD models (ARELD1, ARELD2, ARELD3, ARELD4) from Aireld Technologies
April 14, 2026 Deadline and Enforcement Risks
Motor carriers have a 60-day grace period to replace these with compliant ELDs from the official Registered Devices list—the deadline is April 14, 2026. After that, using a revoked ELD counts as operating without one, triggering violations under §395.8(a)(1), out-of-service (OOS) orders per CVSA criteria, fines, and immediate CSA score damage in the Hours-of-Service BASIC.
This is the kind of flashpoint that turns a routine day into an inspection nightmare, OOS placement, and serious career discussions.
How Revoked ELDs Impact Drivers Personally
Drivers frequently ask: If my carrier’s ELD is revoked and I didn’t pick it, can it still jeopardize my CDL or job—even if I had no intent to violate? Yes—enforcement doesn’t argue intent at the roadside; it checks compliance status. A violation here hits your personal record, PSP report, and future hiring, with severity weights (1–10) and recency making recent issues count more heavily in CSA/SMS scoring.
Immediate Steps to Safeguard Your Livelihood
- Visit eld.fmcsa.dot.gov/List today to verify your ELD isn’t revoked—screenshot or print the page as proof.
- Document thoroughly: Make/model/identifier, registration details, carrier communications, installation history, and any concerns.
- If affected, notify your carrier in writing (email/text for timestamped record) requesting swift replacement and transition help.
- During the switch, use paper logs compliantly—fill them accurately to prevent additional violations.
- Install and test the new ELD promptly, keeping records of the change for any inspector.
- Build defensive habits: Conduct detailed pre-trip inspections, maintain precise logs, and carry compliance documentation so every stop stays clean and helps reduce overall enforcement pressure over time.
With recent events weighted heavier in CSA, proactive action stops patterns before they build.
