5/20/2026: FMCSA Update

Staying on top of compliance isn’t just about scheduling routine drug testing; it’s about ensuring every piece of technology in your cab meets federal standards. On May 20, 2026, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced the immediate removal of 12 Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) from the registered devices list due to failure to meet minimum safety and technical requirements.

Since early 2025, the FMCSA has been aggressively auditing the technical integrity of the ELD program, pulling a total of 79 non-compliant devices from the market.

12 Revoked ELD Devices

If your drivers are currently using any of the devices listed below, you have a strict 60-day window to replace them to avoid severe operational penalties.

The 12 Revoked ELD Devices:

MAUMAU LLC: 888 ELD (Model: EIG8T)
Dragon ELD: DRAGON E (Model: DRA)
ACTION ELD: ACTION ELD (Model: ACT)
MONDOTRACKING SOLUTIONS LLC: Mondo ELD HOS (Model: MND-APL16)
FIRST ELD LLC: FIRST ELD (Model: FRST)
FIRST ELD: FIRST ELD V2.0 (Model: FRST)
POWER ELD LLC: MTL ELD (Model: MRS)
POWER ELD LLC: USPower ELD (Model: USPower1)
Sam Freight management LLC: Sam Freight ELD (Model: SFR8)
DSG TRACKING LLC: DSGELOGS (Model: DSGELOGS1)
Cobra Connect LLC: COBRA ELD (Model: COBR)
GT ELD: GT USA ELOGS (Model: 2.17.1 or up)

Required Next Steps for Motor Carriers

According to the FMCSA mandate, any motor carrier utilizing the devices above must take the following actions immediately:

Stop Using the Device: Discontinue the use of the revoked ELDs. Revert to paper logs or authorized logging software to record your required hours of service (HOS) data.
Replace by July 20, 2026: You must procure and install a compliant ELD from the official FMCSA Registered Devices list before the July 20 deadline.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?

The FMCSA has instructed safety officials to provide a grace period until July 20, 2026, allowing drivers to present paper logs or use the revoked ELD display as a backup without citation.

However, beginning July 20, 2026, motor carriers continuing to use these revoked devices will be legally considered as operating without an ELD entirely. Drivers caught using these devices on or after this date will be cited for 395.8(a)(1) (“No record of duty status”) and placed out-of-service (OOS).

Do not wait until the last minute. Audit your fleet’s tech stack today to ensure your operations keep moving smoothly.
