Another ELD Removed From FMCSA's List

A device was recently removed from the FMCSA’s list of registered electronic logging devices (ELDs): 

• ELD MANDATE PLUS.

Due to a failure to meet the minimum requirements of 49 CFR 395, subpart B, appendix A, the FMCSA has moved these devices to its “revoked devices” list as of May 21, 2024. 

Many ELD providers remove their devices from the list voluntarily, but the FMCSA has the authority to remove any ELD that does not comply with regulations.

Next steps for commercial carriers 

Commercial carriers who use these ELD MANDATE PLUS devices must replace them with compliant ELDs before July 20, 2024, and: 

1. Stop using the two revoked devices, 
2. Switch to paper logs/logging software until compliant hardware is installed, and 
3. Look out for notice from FMCSA if these devices become compliant again. 

During the 60-day replacement period, the FMCSA has instructed safety officials to review affected drivers’ hours-of-service data using logging software, paper logs, or the ELD display. 

After July 20, 2024, any motor carrier that continues to use the revoked ELD MANDATE PLUS devices will be considered operating without an ELD. Drivers will be placed out of service and cited for “No record of duty status” (395.8(a)(1)).
