These ELDs do not meet the minimum requirements that all devices must meet, according to FMCSA standards.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced on Monday, May 12, the removal of eight electronic logging devices (ELDs) from its list of registered devices. These ELDs, associated with the company Gorilla Fleet Safety LLC, fail to meet the minimum requirements outlined in Title 49 CFR, Appendix A, Subpart B, Part 395, which specifies the functional standards that all ELDs must comply with.
This action highlights the importance of carefully selecting ELD providers to ensure regulatory compliance and avoid operational disruptions. ELDs are electronic devices that automatically record the duty status of commercial vehicle drivers. To comply with regulations, the data generated by these devices must be encrypted using specific algorithms; failure to meet these standards results in disqualification by the FMCSA.
FMCSA-revoked ELDs
The FMCSA’s announcement called for the immediate and effective removal, starting May 12, 2025, of the following electronic logging devices:
- AllwaysTrack
- Comando Alkon Trackit
- ELDX
- Gorilla Safety Compact ELD
- HCSS ELD
- LB Technologies FleetTrack HOS
- Simplex ELD 2GO
- Trucker Path ELD Pro
FMCSA urges motor carriers currently using these ELDs to discontinue their use immediately. Carriers must revert to using paper logs or compliant logging software to record hours of service. Non-compliant devices must be replaced with FMCSA-registered and approved ELDs by July 11.
Failure to meet this deadline may result in violations of safety regulations, and drivers may be placed out of service in accordance with the criteria established by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA).
Recommendations for carriers
In the United States, ELD providers self-certify that their devices comply with FMCSA regulations without prior independent verification. FMCSA monitors compliance post-certification and may remove devices from the registry if violations are found. As of April, the FMCSA had 1,050 ELDs listed on its registry, all self-certified by their manufacturers. Of these, 248 have been revoked—37 by the agency and 211 voluntarily by the providers.
For this reason, carriers are advised to:
- Carefully evaluate ELD providers to understand their compliance history and customer service reputation.
- Regularly verify that their current ELD remains on the FMCSA’s list of registered devices and is not listed as revoked.
- Develop a contingency plan to ensure a smooth transition to a compliant ELD in the event of revocation.
