Trucking news and briefs for Friday, Sept. 22, 2023:
Just over a week after revoking the ELD certification of the KSK ELD, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has reinstated the device to its list of registered devices.
Motor carriers and drivers who had used the KSK ELD device are now permitted to continue its use. FMCSA did not provide any details as to why the device was revoked initially, nor why it was reinstated within days.
At the time of the revocation, FMCSA said the device, along with the Falcon ELD, did not meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A (functional specifications for ELDs).
KSK ELD that day told Overdrive that FMCSA’s revocation was a “mistake.”
