FMCSA Revokes More ELDs as Enforcement Efforts Continue

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has removed three more electronic logging devices (ELDs) from its list of registered devices, continuing a broader enforcement effort targeting non-compliant ELD providers.

The latest removals include both the iOS and Android versions of Safe ELD, manufactured by Bemorex, Inc., along with MYLOGS ELD from Mylogs Inc. FMCSA said the devices failed to meet minimum technical requirements outlined in federal regulations under 49 CFR Part 395 Appendix A.

According to FMCSA, motor carriers using these devices must replace them with compliant ELDs by July 7, 2026.

Carriers Have 60 Days to Replace Revoked ELDs

FMCSA said carriers currently using the revoked devices should immediately stop relying on them as their primary method for recording hours-of-service data.

Until a compliant device is installed, drivers should switch to paper logs or approved logging software to maintain records of duty status.

The revoked devices include:

• Safe ELD (Android)
• Safe ELD (iOS)
• MYLOGS ELD

Before the July 7 deadline, roadside inspectors have been instructed not to issue citations related to the revoked devices if drivers can provide supporting hours-of-service records through paper logs, backup displays, or logging software.

After July 7, drivers using the revoked devices may be cited for operating without a compliant ELD and could be placed out of service under Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance criteria.

FMCSA Increases ELD Enforcement Activity

FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs said the agency has removed 67 non-compliant ELDs since January 2025.

The agency currently maintains a registered ELD list containing roughly 1,000 approved devices, while hundreds of devices now appear on the revoked list.

The removals are part of a larger FMCSA effort to strengthen oversight of the ELD program and improve compliance with federal standards.

“Since January 2025, FMCSA has taken decisive action, removing 67 noncompliant devices that failed to meet federal standards, to protect the integrity of the ELD program,” Barrs said in a statement.

FMCSA Reviewing ELD Certification Process

The recent revocations have also renewed attention on how ELDs are approved in the United States.

Under the current system, manufacturers self-certify their devices before being added to the FMCSA’s registered ELD list. That means providers certify their own devices meet federal technical standards without a third-party approval process before registration.

FMCSA has recently indicated it is reviewing and updating its ELD vetting procedures as part of a broader overhaul of the registration process.

The agency has not yet announced exactly how the updated system will work or whether self-certification will eventually change.

What Motor Carriers Should Watch For

FMCSA encourages carriers to regularly verify that their ELD provider still appears on the agency’s registered device list.

Carriers may also want to evaluate:

• How long a provider has operated in the ELD market
• Whether the company continues to provide software updates and support
• Whether the provider has an established customer base
• The provider’s ability to respond to roadside compliance issues

A revoked ELD can create operational delays, compliance violations, and potential out-of-service situations if carriers do not replace affected devices before enforcement deadlines.

Motor carriers can review the current registered and revoked ELD lists on FMCSA’s official ELD website.
