FMCSA pulls 133 ELDs from its registered devices list in largest revocation to date
Equipment · Nov 12 · By Truker
The U.S. DOT said Nov. 12 that FMCSA removed 133 electronic logging devices from its Registered Devices List: 121 revoked by the agency and 12 voluntary self-revocations. DOT calls it the largest ELD revocation in FMCSA history.
The points
- 1DOT announced Nov. 12, 2026 that FMCSA pulled 133 ELDs from the agency's Registered Devices List.
- 2DOT says the action removes 121 agency-revoked devices and 12 voluntary self-revocations.
- 3DOT calls it "the largest ELD revocation in FMCSA history."
- 4DOT gave anonymized examples, including a provider that let carriers call a support line to wipe driving time and fabricate rest periods, one that uploaded fake logs during an active roadside inspection, and logs showing impossible speeds of up to 130 mph.
- 5DOT says motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace a revoked ELD, but the same release tells safety officials to cite 395.8(a)(1) and place drivers out of service if they are found using a revoked device on or after Nov. 24, 2026.
- 6FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs said the agency is "removing noncompliant and fraudulent devices" that can be used to evade oversight or undermine accurate hours-of-service records.
- 7FMCSA's public Revoked ELDs list shows 121 entries dated Nov. 12, 2026, matching the agency revocations DOT announced.
Why it matters
Carriers running a device that is no longer on FMCSA's registered list need to switch to a registered ELD. Because DOT's release gives both a 60-day window and a Nov. 24 out-of-service date, carriers should check FMCSA's revoked list for their provider now and not count on the full 60 days.
