FMCSA revoked 10 ELDs: the September 8 deadline has passed — what it means now

On July 9, 2026 FMCSA removed ten Electronic Logging Devices from the registered list: Ontime Logs iosix, LAST MINUTE ELD, Porter ELD, Zee HOS Compliance, EV ELD IOSIX, Light and Travel ELD, PREMIERRIDE LOGS, 2BRO ELD and 305 ELD, and TT ELD 40. Carriers had 60 days to switch. Since September 8, 2026, a driver still on one of these devices is cited under 395.8(a)(1) and placed out of service.

The short version

On July 9, 2026, FMCSA removed 10 Electronic Logging Devices from the list of registered ELDs. Carriers running one of them had 60 days — until September 8, 2026 — to move their drivers onto a compliant device.

That deadline has passed. Since September 8, 2026, a driver still operating on one of these devices is treated as having no ELD at all: cited under 395.8(a)(1) and placed out of service. The grace period during which inspectors were told not to write that citation is over.

FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs, announcing the removals: "We will continue to take decisive enforcement action to ensure that only compliant, reliable devices are used on our nation's roadways." Read literally, that was a promise rather than a conclusion: more removals are expected.

The ten devices

These are the devices FMCSA removed. Two of them — 2BRO ELD and 305 ELD — are listed under the same provider, TWO BRO SECURITY & IT SOLUTIONS.

Source: FMCSA bulletin, July 9, 2026 (provider, device, model and ELD ID columns). The devices were removed for failing to meet the minimum requirements of 49 CFR Part 395, Subpart B, Appendix A. We publish no user or install-base estimates for these providers: no such figure is available from FMCSA or from the providers themselves, and the numbers circulating in the trade press are guesses.

What the timeline actually was

July 9, 2026 — removal. The ten devices left the registered list. Carriers using them were told to fall back to paper logs or compliant logging software until a replacement was installed.

July 9 to September 8, 2026 — the 60-day grace period. Inspectors were instructed not to cite a driver on a revoked device under 395.8(a)(1) ("no record of duty status") or 395.22(a) ("failing to use a registered ELD"), as long as the driver could produce paper logs, logging software or the device display as a back-up.

Since September 8, 2026 — enforcement. A driver still on one of these devices is cited under 395.8(a)(1) and placed out of service. That is not a fine; that is parked equipment and a missed load.

If a provider corrects the deficiencies, FMCSA can restore the device to the registered list and notify the industry. A carrier that is still waiting for that to happen is, today, running out of compliance.

Where this sits in the 2026 enforcement wave

The revocation was not an isolated event. It is the third visible step in a sequence:

Step 1 (April 1, 2026): violation code 395.8(e)(2) went live — a surgical tool for citing ELD tampering at the roadside. The first rows carrying it in our data are dated exactly April 1, 2026.

Step 2 (April to August 2026): the code lit up the data. Nationally we count 5,396 tampering inspections and 11,438 violations across 3,965 carriers in 42 states — 868 inspections in April, 866 in May, then 1,280 in June, 1,258 in July and 1,124 in August. The message from the roadside was that a non-trivial share of the ELDs in the field are being manipulated.

Step 3 (July 9, 2026): FMCSA pulled devices at the source. A provider that cannot meet the minimum specification — anti-tampering controls, event integrity, authentication, engine synchronization — loses its listing, and every carrier using the device has to move.

Steps 1 and 3 reinforce each other. When inspectors have a clean tampering code and a shrinking pool of registered devices, the enforcement surface widens quickly: a marginal vendor is much harder to hide when every citation ties back to a specific device signature. Our Alabama report shows what that looks like in one state: 615 tampering inspections in five months, 614 of them ending out of service.

What to do now that the deadline is behind us

Inventory the fleet against the table above. The ELD ID is the reliable key; provider and device names change, and two of these devices already carry a "formerly known as" name.

Any truck still on a revoked device is an out-of-service order waiting to happen. There is no back-up-records defence any more — that ended with the grace period.

Check the registered list before buying, not after. FMCSA publishes both the registered and the revoked list; a device can move between them without the carrier hearing about it.

If you broker or insure carriers, add the question to vetting. "Which ELD is in the truck" is now a compliance question with a public answer key.

Ten devices: Ontime Logs iosix, LAST MINUTE ELD, Porter ELD, Zee HOS Compliance, EV ELD IOSIX (formerly EVO ELD IOSIX), Light and Travel ELD, PREMIERRIDE LOGS, 2BRO ELD, 305 ELD and TT ELD 40.

What was the deadline to replace a revoked ELD?

60 days from the July 9, 2026 removal — September 8, 2026. That deadline has passed; the grace period no longer applies.

What happens now to a driver still using a revoked ELD?

Since September 8, 2026 the driver is treated as having no compliant ELD: cited under 395.8(a)(1) and placed out of service.

Can a revoked ELD be reinstated?

Yes. FMCSA can restore a device to the registered list once the provider corrects the deficiencies, but a carrier cannot run on the device while waiting for that.

How does this connect to the ELD tampering enforcement wave?

Violation code 395.8(e)(2) went live on April 1, 2026. Since then our data holds 5,396 tampering inspections and 11,438 violations across 3,965 carriers in 42 states.
