Quick Answer: What Happened to the 10 ELDs?

On July 9, 2026, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration removed 10 electronic logging devices from its registered ELD list.

FMCSA said the devices failed to meet the minimum technical requirements under Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.

If your truck uses one of the revoked devices, you should stop relying on it as your official hours-of-service record. FMCSA instructs affected drivers and carriers to use paper logs or compliant logging software temporarily and install a registered replacement before September 8, 2026.

After that deadline, continued use can result in a citation and the driver being placed out of service.

Key Takeaways

• FMCSA revoked 10 ELDs on July 9, 2026.
• Affected carriers have until September 8, 2026, to install compliant replacements.
• Affected drivers should discontinue using the revoked ELDs and temporarily maintain hours-of-service records using paper logs or logging software.
• Before the deadline, inspectors are encouraged to review alternative records instead of citing drivers solely for using a revoked device.
• Beginning September 8, continued use can be treated as operating without an ELD.
• The carrier is responsible for periodically checking that its devices remain registered.

Which ELDs Did FMCSA Revoke?

The July 9 action covers the following devices:

ELD provider	Device	Model	Identifier
Ontime Logs Inc	Ontime Logs iosix	OTL101	24b11f
Last Minute ELD	Last Minute ELD	360-LM	LMN932
Porter ELD	Porter ELD	Porter 1	POR247
Zee App	Zee HOS Compliance	TTELD101	F594EF
EV ELD Inc.	EV ELD IOSIX	EV 2	G711H3
Light and Travel LLC	Light and Travel ELD	LNTRA	LNT780
Premierride Logs LLC	Premierride Logs	1RIDE	PRD391
Two Bro Security & IT Solutions	2BRO ELD	2BRO002	2BRELD
Two Bro Security & IT Solutions	305 ELD	305002	2BR305
TT ELD Inc	TT ELD 40	PT40	TTAH49

Check both the device name and ELD identifier. Similar company or application names can cause confusion. The official details are available in the FMCSA July 9 bulletin.

What Should Drivers Do Right Now?

1. Confirm the Device Name and Identifier

Do not judge by the mobile application’s icon alone. Open the ELD information screen and check the provider, device name, model number and ELD identifier. Compare those details with FMCSA’s bulletin and current revoked ELD list.

If you are a company driver, contact your safety department or dispatcher immediately if the details match.

2. Stop Treating the Revoked Device as Your Official Log

FMCSA’s instruction is to discontinue using the revoked ELD and temporarily revert to paper records of duty status or compliant logging software.

Do not continue operating normally and assume the 60-day replacement period makes the device compliant. It does not. The temporary enforcement approach depends on having usable alternative hours-of-service records available for inspection.

3. Keep Your Records Current and Accessible

A paper log is not useful if it is incomplete, several hours behind or inaccessible during an inspection. Drivers should accurately record duty-status changes, locations, driving time, on-duty time, sleeper-berth time, off-duty periods and required load information.

4. Confirm the Replacement Plan

Carriers should select a replacement from FMCSA’s official registered-device list, arrange installation and transfer any records needed for compliance and retention.

Do not wait until the first week of September. Replacing an ELD across multiple trucks can involve hardware, accounts, driver training, integrations and historical-record migration.

5. Train Drivers Before Dispatching Them

A registered ELD is not enough if the driver cannot operate it during a roadside inspection. Before dispatch, confirm that the driver can log in, change duty status, add annotations, review unidentified driving time, display inspection information and transfer records.

Roadside compliance increasingly depends on the driver being able to demonstrate compliance on the spot. TA Trans recently covered another example in its guide to FMCSA’s two-step English-proficiency test.

Can Drivers Continue Using the Revoked ELD Until September 8?

This is where the notice can be misunderstood. FMCSA gives carriers until September 8 to replace the devices, but it also instructs affected users to discontinue using them and revert to paper logs or logging software.

Before September 8, safety officials are encouraged not to cite affected drivers for 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1), “No record of duty status,” or 49 CFR 395.22(a), “Failing to use a registered ELD.” Instead, inspectors are encouraged to review paper logs, logging software or the revoked ELD display as a backup method.

That is not permission to ignore the revocation. It is a limited transition period while carriers install compliant replacements.

What Happens After September 8, 2026?

Beginning September 8, a carrier that continues using one of the listed devices will be considered to be operating without a compliant ELD. According to FMCSA, an inspector should cite the driver under 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1) and place the driver out of service under the applicable CVSA criteria.

An out-of-service order can mean a missed appointment, delayed load, recovery or repower costs, a roadside violation and problems with brokers and customers. The deadline is operational, not merely an IT update.

What If the ELD Provider Fixes the Problem?

FMCSA says a provider may correct the deficiencies. If the device becomes compliant, FMCSA can return it to the registered list and notify the industry.

Carriers should not base their compliance plan on that possibility. Unless FMCSA officially restores the exact device and identifier, treat it as revoked. A statement from a salesperson, support representative or social-media account is not the same as confirmation on the FMCSA list.

Who Is Responsible for Checking an ELD’s Status?

The motor carrier is responsible. FMCSA’s general ELD guidance states that carriers must periodically check whether their devices remain registered, including the registered and revoked lists.

A basic fleet process should include:

1. Checking FMCSA’s ELD lists on a set schedule.
2. Recording the provider, model and identifier used in every truck.
3. Subscribing to FMCSA ELD updates.
4. Assigning one person to respond to revocation notices.
5. Maintaining an emergency paper-log procedure.
6. Testing drivers on inspections and data transfers.

TA Trans Perspective: Sixty Days Is a Deadline, Not a Plan

At TA Trans, our view is straightforward: an ELD can appear to work normally and still no longer be legally accepted.

The application may open. The driver may see the graph. The truck may continue transmitting locations. None of that proves the device is still on FMCSA’s registered list.

A carrier should not discover a revocation through a roadside inspector. The right response is to identify affected trucks, preserve the required records, train the drivers and replace the device while there is still time to control the transition.

For drivers, the rule is equally simple: if your ELD has been revoked, contact safety before your next trip. Do not wait until an inspector asks for a log transfer that your carrier can no longer legally rely on.

Hustle matters. But compliance keeps the truck moving.
