FMCSA Revokes 12 More ELDs, Sets July 20 Deadline
FMCSA removed 12 more electronic logging devices from its registered list, giving affected carriers until July 20 to move to compliant systems.
Another ELD Batch Comes Off the List
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration removed 12 electronic logging devices from its registered ELD list on May 20, 2026, widening a cleanup push that has been accelerating across the logging-device market.
Overdrive reported that two of the revoked devices, Dragon ELD and Action ELD, shared an address and ownership with Phoenix ELD, a provider tied in court filings and prior reporting to allegations of ELD manipulation at a 200-truck fleet.
Carriers Have 60 Days to Replace Them
Drivers and motor carriers using the revoked devices have 60 days to switch to a compliant ELD from FMCSA's registered-device list. During that transition period, affected operators should stop using the revoked systems and rely on paper logs or logging software.
Before July 20, inspectors are being told not to cite drivers solely for using the revoked devices. After that date, carriers that keep using them can be cited for operating without an ELD, and drivers can be placed out of service.
The Registry Cleanup Is Getting Larger
Since January 2025, FMCSA has removed 79 devices that failed to meet federal standards, according to Overdrive's report. The pace matters for safety and compliance teams because an ELD that was acceptable during implementation can become a live compliance problem after a registry change.
For fleets, the immediate move is practical: check every active device against FMCSA's current list, document the replacement plan for any affected units, and make sure drivers know what logging method to use before the July deadline.
