79 ELDs revoked since January. 12 more just hit the list.

The FMCSA added 12 more ELDs to the board today. Twelve electronic logging devices were pulled from the registered list in a single announcement, the largest single-day revocation event since the eight-device Gorilla Fleet Safety sweep in May 2025.

The devices are 888 ELD from MAUMAU LLC, Dragon ELD, Action ELD, Mondo ELD HOS from Mondotracking Solutions, two versions of First ELD from First ELD LLC, two devices from Power ELD LLC including MTL ELD and USPower ELD, Sam Freight ELD from Sam Freight Management LLC, DSGELOGS from DSG Tracking LLC, Cobra ELD from Cobra Connect LLC, and GT USA ELOGS from GT ELD.

All failed to meet the minimum technical requirements in 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. All are now on the revoked list. That brings the total to 79 devices removed since January 2025. Seventy-nine. Thirteen days ago, I wrote about revocations 67 and 68, Safe ELD and MYLOGS ELD, and said the pace was running at more than four per month.

That number is now closer to five. In 16 and a half months, the FMCSA has removed an average of 4. 8 devices per month from the registered list. Today alone accounts for more than two and a half months of that average in a single afternoon. Administrator Derek Barrs did not soften the message. “Safety is not optional, and neither is compliance.

FMCSA is serious about removing unsafe and unreliable electronic logging devices from the market and holding manufacturers accountable to federal safety standards. These standards are in place to help protect everyone traveling on American roads.” If you are running any of the 12 devices named today, here is your timeline. Stop using it now.

Revert to paper logs or compliant logging software. Replace the device with a compliant ELD from the registered list before July 20, 2026. That is the 60-day window. Before July 20, roadside enforcement officers were being told not to cite drivers using the revoked devices for 395. 8(a)(1) or 395. 22(a).

After July 20, you will be cited and placed out of service. The truck stops. The load does not move. Your company eats a violation that shows up in SMS, in inspection reports, and in every carrier vetting system that pulls FMCSA data. window. googletag = window. googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag. cmd. push(function() {googletag.

push(function() {googletag. display('div-gpt-ad-1709668545404-0'); }); That is the compliance part. You have read it before. I wrote it 13 days ago for Safe ELD and MYLOGS. I wrote it last May for the Gorilla Fleet batch. The compliance guidance does not change because the problem does not change.

A manufacturer self-certifies a device, the FMCSA registers it, carriers buy it, and months or years later, the FMCSA discovers it does not actually work and pulls it off the list. The carrier and the driver absorb the cost. The manufacturer has already been paid. The FMCSA-registered ELD list currently lists approximately 1,050 devices.

The revoked list now exceeds 250. Seventy-nine of those revocations have come in the last 16 and a half months. Here is the part that nobody is talking about. Look at the inflow. How many new ELD registrations has FMCSA added during the same period? The answer, based on registry monitoring, is that there aren’t many. The list is getting shorter, not longer.

Devices are coming off faster than they are going on. If FMCSA continues pulling four to five devices per month and the new registration rate stays flat or near zero, the registered list contracts. The pool of available devices shrinks.

The devices that remain are disproportionately the ones that have survived years of scrutiny, the ones backed by companies with real engineering teams, real support infrastructure, and real customers who would notice and complain if the device stopped meeting spec.

The bottom of the market, the $50 app store ELDs, the devices sold by LLCs registered to a single person in a strip mall, the providers who filled out a self-certification form and never thought about it again, those are the ones getting pulled.

And they are not being replaced by new entrants of the same caliber because the new entrants can see the enforcement trend and the cost of entering a market where your device might get yanked before you break even. That is a de facto quality filter operating through enforcement rather than regulation. Are we moving to a third-party certification model?

The Canadian ELD mandate requires third-party certification before a device can be used. An accredited independent organization tests the device and confirms it meets the standard before it goes on the market. The manufacturer does not get to grade its own homework. The re
