The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced Thursday, Feb. 29, that it has revoked the certification of five electronic logging devices from its list of registered ELDs.
The five revoked devices are:
- CI ELD Logs from CV Options LLC
- CN ELD from ELD Connection
- KSK ELD from KSK Group, Inc.
- TT ELD 30 from TT ELD Inc.
- TT ELD 1010 from TT ELD Inc.
Notably, the KSK ELD and the CI ELD Logs devices had previously been revoked by FMCSA and reinstated.
FMCSA said it placed these ELDs on the Revoked Devices list due to the companies’ failure to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A, which details the “functional specifications” for ELDs.
Carriers and drivers using the revoked devices are required to discontinue using the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data, and replace the revoked ELDs with a compliant device before April 28.
If the ELD providers correct all identified deficiencies for their devices, FMCSA will place the ELDs back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update.
During the 60-day period carriers have to replace devices, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using these revoked ELDs for “No record of duty status” or “Failing to use a registered ELD.” Instead, inspectors should request the driver’s paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a back-up method to review the hours of service data, FMCSA noted.
If a carrier or driver is still using a revoked device after April 28, however, they will be considered to be operating without an ELD.
